We weren’t sure at this point if we were going to get to the top yet.
Couldn’t even see it because it was sooo foggy!
We hiked the most popular trail in Anchorage. It didn’t feel crowded though… maybe because it was a weekday? The parking lot looked full though.
Some areas were so steep that it looked super sketchy
I saw all these wildflowers and insisted that we take photos 😆
They’re so prettyyy 😍
I’m nervous about hiking solo in bear country. First time carrying bear spray. I mean, we have black bears in California, and can shoo them away like raccoons (the ones in Yosemite need more convincing sometimes though). But here in Alaska especially on this trail, we might have encountered Black bears or Grizzlies 🐻
Thankfully I hiked with a friend!! In the parking lot she asked me, “Do you want to carry your own bear spray or should I carry one for both of us?” 😅
Can’t wait to explore more of Alaska!
Fireweed was in bloom 🌸🌸
