We started as a group, but the kids tired of the steepness rather quickly. Daddy, DB
and the kids found a place to enjoy the view while Courtney and I headed for the peak.

At the summit we startled a ptarmigan hiding from its hiding place in the rocks.
Beautiful views from the top of the range behind us, the town of Eagle River below and Anchorage in the distance.
We attended a training class for all of the State Park volunteers where we learned more about the park, the employees and our role for each of our locations. Fish and Game came to talk to us about our biggest concern- how to handle bear and moose encounters. Afterwards we stopped at Potter's Marsh, part of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, to see birds while we walked the boardwalk.
We ended the night at REI watching Courtney speak to a group about climbing Aconcagua. We all listened while he recounted his adventure with photos and details which allowed us to feel like we were there. Even the kids were enthralled.
