Hike 17/52. this time, we took off towards Matanuska Peak. I had never been on this trail and I tend to stay away from “The Valley” as I don’t like meth or replacing car windows. For Obi’s happiness, I decided to risk it.

When you turn around, the views keep getting better though.Screen Shot 2017-10-17 at 8.54.53 AM.pngEventually, we could see Matanuska Peak.Screen Shot 2017-10-17 at 8.55.16 AM.png

I can never quite capture the beauty in a picture. Our hike was slowed by me turning around and “oohing” and “aahhhing” to the dogs every few minutes.

We saw one grouse on our return to the car. It flew far away very quickly. At least we saw one.
