Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

A couple of Sundays ago we met our friends, the Heaslets, and hiked the McHugh Lake trail. Everything was so much greener than when we hiked it about a month ago. It was a beautiful, clear, sunny day and we had a great time! We took some sandwiches and had a little picnic at the top, which was so fun! We didn't see any moose or dall sheep this time, but we still had so much fun. Alaska is so beautiful!

Lupine is blooming! I made sure to get lots and lots of pics!

A few weeks ago we were having some beautiful sunny and clear weather so Scott decided to take the day off and we went hiking along Turnagain Arm. We hiked the McHugh Lake trail up to Table Rock which had the most beautiful views of the inlet. These pictures just don't do it justice. It was so pretty! The girls were great little hikers and we saw quite a bit of wildlife too! We saw six moose on the trail, which was a little scary (one was laying down in the shade right by the trail and we didn't notice it until we were pretty close), but for the most part we kept our distance and we were good! We also saw some Dall sheep high up on the mountain which was so cool. Noelle, our little flower child, noticed some forget-me-nots, lots of dandelions, and some lupine (almost blooming). We will definitely be hiking this one again, hopefully soon!


I checked out this book from the library and it's been so helpful with great tips and finding new hikes that we haven't done yet.
