Crescent Creek

We hiked the Crescent Creek Trail with the kiddos and our friend Tim who was in town visiting. Its an easy hike that is 6.5 miles one way and an elevation gain of 1300 feet. We hiked to the cabin that overlooks the lake. There is great grayling fishing in there but we were unable to catch any fish that day being that on the way there we entered a trenchal downpour and were soaked. But it helped to make the 6.5 mile hike back fast as we were able to get the sunshine on the way back.

Bear Mountain Trail

We hiked Bear Mountain trail on a summer day that was scorching hot and ridden with mosquitos LOL! We still had a blast and the view was gorgeous! The hike is only .8 miles and a 400 foot elevation gain and it makes for a perfect short hike and at the top there is a really nice place to have lunch.

Byron Glacier Bouldering

We went to Byron glacier and in the valley there are a ton of boulders so we had a great day of climbing!

Resurrection Trail

We hiked the Resurrection Pass Trail coming from the Cooper landing north to Devils Pass Side.We only went to Juneau Falls which was about three miles one way so six miles road trip. Its a good hike, not too steep so the kiddos had a great time too. We made sure to bring lunch so that we could have a picnic overlooking the falls. It was awesome!
