Hike: Ptarmigan Lakes

We had planned to hike Crow Pass, but that's a pretty intense 26 mile, multi-day kind of hike (which includes crossing a frigid river, rolled up pants and all) and we were just not feeling up to the task. Ross was just coming off the crazy sheep hunt and Hunter threw out his back. Soooo, we decided to hike Ptarmigan Lakes, which is about 20 minutes outside of Seward. It's a fairly flat 3.5 mile hike to the lake where we camped. It was one of the prettiest camp sites we'd ever stayed at, located on a little jetty out into the lake- we were surrounded by water on 3 sides. Here's some pics:

Do you see the spawned out salmon?

The bright red blurs.

Raspberries! We saw lots of berries. (and lots of bear scat because that's what bears eat)

Roma wanted to play fetch with a huge tree limb.

Roma didn't understand the fire making process. She kinda thought the wood looked like fetch sticks...

Tent camping with Roma is interesting for sure- she always tries to steal my sleeping bag. "Good morning mom, time to wake up!"

More hike pictures to come...
