Tawna and Anchorage

Drove down to Anchorage this week to pick up Tawna and have a bit of time in the mountains. It was nice to be on some of my favorite trails and show Tawna around a bit. She came in at 4 pm, we grabbed pizza at the Moose's Tooth and then up to Symphony and Eagle Lakes.




After a nice run into the lakes of the South Fork of Eagle River, we drove to Hatcher Pass, just north of Anchorage in the Talkeetna Mountains. Found a nice place to sleep, and then headed into Reed Lakes in the morning. This is one of the best day hikes in the area through some really beautiful scenery.





The rock is granite, leading to some fun opportunities to boulder





The weather was even nice enough for a swim (at least for Tawna) in the glacial fed creek that runs by the trail.


On our drive out, this Hoary Marmot decided to come up to the car and torment Turtle who couldn't believe the audacity!
