Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

Chrissy invited me to go with her on a little overnight backpacking trip, and of course I had to go! It was my first time backpacking, and it was so fun! We hiked just over four miles each way, and Chrissy supplied most the gear. We started at the Crystal Lake trailhead, and we actually read the map wrong and ended up going to a different lake than we had originally planned, but it all worked out, haha! We camped at Island Lake, and it was so beautiful! There are quite a few trees in the Uintas that have died from spruce beetles, but I think it's starting to recover, and it really is still so pretty. I loved backpacking, and can't wait to go again!
