Lower Dewey Lake Loop

Finally got to finish the Lower Dewey Lake Loop. This was a pretty cool hike. The trail head is just below the word "Skagway" on the map, then goes east up the side of the mountain for about .5 miles, 500 ft elevation gain. From there you can take a few routes; the one I took went around the lake there for about 2.7 miles. I definitely want to do this one again before I go! Not as cool as Denver Glacier, but still pretty amazing.

Foaming flower, don't know the story behind this one yet.

Lower Dewey Lake! Just what I expected from Alaska.

Wild flowers...

Gnarly tree :)

I think this is either Horse's Hair or Witch's Hair lychen. (Apparently there are hundreds of types of lychen throughout southeast Alaska)

East side of Lower Dewey - steep but fun!

Can't really beat any of Phil's flower pictures; all the ones I take are either boring flowers, or they're dying like this one.

Only form of wild life I've really seen yet, two blue birds. Don't know what they are, yet. But I have a brochure! Actually, I have hundreds of brochures!

Haha, I'm sorry I had to take this picture. These guys were just sitting in the grass, completely still, with their mouths hanging open.

I like this trail I like this trail!

More lychen!

One of my favorite pictures from this trip.

View of Skagway Bay.

And finally, one random picture of the White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad. This is the train I took to get to the Denver Glacier.
