Alaska, Day 3
This road went ever on and on ...
Good Lord. This was the steepest, never-endingest trail I've tried in a long time (this from the wimp who's never made it to the top of Medicine Bow Peak ... shame, I know). The views made up for the surety that I was going to die of an asthma attack and my carcass would bounce and tumble its way to the train tracks and/or highway below, if a bear didn't make a snack of me along the way ...
This, folks, was the path that lead to the trailhead of the Bird Ridge Trail. Beautiful, breathtaking views. Seriously worth the hike. But the hike seriously took a toll on my legs going up and on my knees and feet going down. Pretty iffy there a couple times.
