Mile 5 Gold Mint Trail, Hatcher Pass
July 2nd, 2009
Hikers stand next to the 5 mile marker on the Gold Mint Trail at Hatcher Pass, Alaska. This week I was joined by Evelyn Bunch, Jen Scott and Mary Mystrom. This group is very fit and I had to work hard to keep up with their pace. We hiked a total of 10 miles which is a milestone for me this summer. The wildflowers are blooming in profusion, beaver ponds dot the side of the trail and the sight and sounds of the nearby river make this trail exceptional and one of our favorites!
