Turnagain Pass Single Track Bike Trail

We had a great bike ride on a Trail that's up at Turnagain Pass. Just off the main trail to the left is a really fun single track ride which we took back over two miles and had a snack then headed back.

Nic and Natalie's First Climb of the Summer-Boy Scout Rocks

Nic, Natalie, and Merek after we left Anchorage we went to Boy Scout rock and climbed. We warmed up on our first routes of the season with climbing Cub Scout 5.2, Eagle Scout 5.7, Explorer Scout 5.8, and the 5.9 variations near Explorer Scout. We plan on going back in a few days and hitting the 5.10 there called the Plymouth Scout as well as going to Pivot Point. Great day of climbing, opening up the summer for some excellent adventures!

Us and Dad Hiking Skyline

Dad, Nic, Natalie and Merek hiked Skyline. It was a great day with legendary views and lots of sunshine! It was a first time for Nat's Dad and Merek up there. Merek absolutely loves hiking in the backpack and Dad was able to scope out the views for future places for us all to adventure to.
