Resurrection Pass Trail

We headed up on Friday "night" up Resurrection Trail, a 36 mile long trek from Cooper Landing to Hope. We didn't do the whole thing!! This was a view from the first part of the trail.

It had rained for an hour before we began, thus the vegetation was all wet! Wearing the rain gear made me VERY HOT! Nylon doesn't breathe well.

This is a shot from Trout Lake, a half-mile jaunt away from the main trail. There's a cabin and a boat for public use, but it was taken, so we just relaxed, got a drink, and enjoyed the view.

The little white spot on the top of the cliff is our tent! Pat is taking this picture from a bit closer to Juneau Falls, and the mist ended up being too much for this camp site!

Saturday, we hiked up to Juneau Lake, found this Forest Service Cabin (public use), and liked the security measures!

Here's a view of the front of the cabin. This was rebuilt in the last year, and still smells like fresh varnish! I think it's been in use since December, as the cabin register dates to that time!

Behind another cabin further up the lake, I was surprised by this critter in the woodshed! I'm glad porcupines aren't bears!

Pat thought I looked like I was on Safari! I had to switch clothes with him, as I packed for too cool weather and got very toasty! I'm sure that clothes-swap would've been a cute sight for others to come upon on the trail! We had planned to go to another lake a few miles up from Juneau Lake, but the clouds were foreboding, and we turned back. It was a good sight-see, but not too difficult of a trail. This is one that a lot of mountain-bikers use. Pat's planning a long day-hike to do the entire 36 miles. I'll forgo that one, and let him go with our friend Dan!
