An epic journey over crow's pass...

Crow's Pass


Though these pictures are neat they definitly do not capture the spirit and grandure of this great hike. Walk the miles if you ever get the chance...

I included captions and approximate locations of most pictures on google earth. Check it out. It was a great hike that we will never forget. 27 miles over a mountain pass with every kind of extreme weather and terrain. Some of the highlights included glaciers, 2 black bears and 2 very large bull moose who made it clear that they were not city dwellers but the real wild deal, frozen water crossings flinging rocks down slippery river beds, new canyons bieng carved by glaciers and streams, mud slicked descents through head high grasses in the heart of a bear superhighway... Sound extreme? Welcome to Alaska.
