i took another hike so here's some lovely pics I did a hike that takes you to a nice alpine area where in the summer there would be flowers and stuff but at this time of year its still dead and w/e It starts near a lake shore and heads up into boreal spruce forest so you don't get many views at first then you come to road you follow for a bit that goes to a radio tower in the area eventually you veer off the road and hike for some kms through a nice alpine area as you get closer to where it ends this is the view and this is where this one ends at a nice alpine lake that's still frozen over it was a fun day out

CLAM DOWN posted:This is so awesome, thank you for this! Are you a geologist by trade/education? I've learned a ton about all the trees and plants and ecology/biomes of the forests and mountains here, but the geology part I don't know much. So likely these boulders would have been pushed up from forming underground, then deposited by the glaciers like tens of thousands of years ago? That's fuckin badass. I like forests too, because I cut down trees for firewood in the fall.

Also hiked today for canada day and decided to follow an old section of the original alaska highway to celebrate that northern canadian heritage (the alaska highway turns 75 next year as well) you can still see the road but its now pretty overgrown you can get to a cool viewpoint over the modern alaska highway from where I was though: Some Dall sheep and their young were hanging out on nearby cliffs
