recently I've been day hiking in the chugach mountains near anchorage, this morning I went up harp mountain in the south fork valley up the valley is eagle lake which feeds the south fork of eagle river  across the valley is rendezvous ridge/peak which I did two weeks ago. I had a big smile when I realized that false peak looks like a titty from a distance. you can see mount susitna across the knik arm behind it  I was excited to see the north fork valley from the top, but the clouds were smushed straight against the north side of the mountain which was almost as cool

I went up McHugh peak southeast of Anchorage today. I kept losing the trail up because of the clouds, but it was great when the they cleared out near the top and I got a partial view of Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm    It was about 6 miles up and back with 2,600ft elevation gain. The view threw "window" alone was worth the trip.

The Fool posted:I did the ridge line above april bowl in clouds like that last month, it's always a really cool effect Are you familiar with any other hikes up in Hatcher pass? April bowl looks cool but I’d like to make a day of it if I drive up there

Chugach state park again, this time I went back to hanging valley lake which is in a split from the south fork valley   It had rained the night before so 8 of the 10 miles I had wet feet, but the running compression socks did their job. Truly a miracle of modern design and engineering

 From July in the south fork valley. He walked across the trail about 50 feet in front of me and booked it down the hill. After that my head was on a swivel until I was above the tree line

 The first saddle I drove to had an avalanche warning so I ended up going to the south fork of eagle river valley. The switchbacks were almost drifted over so I went up the old steep trail on my snowshoes. This is where the heel elevators saved me from any ankle discomfort at all, and I never slipped thanks to the grip from the cleats and frame. Had to turn around after just a mile though, there was too much wind on the shoulder above the saddle and I couldn’t see it being any better on the completely exposed ridge
