SHC Episode 2

East Glacier Trail was a little more challenging than we expected. This was a true hike, with switch backs, staircases carved out of the rocks, and of course, waterfalls. We have expanded out social bubble and have invited our friends the Zigmunds* to join us. 

East Glacier Trail winds up the mountain, high above Nugget Falls. In fact, the part of Nugget Falls we saw from the beach was blocked by another layer of boulders. The trail follows along the river that pours into the Falls and was very loud. But, after we reached the back of the loop and were heading back down, it didn't take long for the sound of the river to be completely gone.

Not part of the river or eventual Nugget Falls.
 All the kids, before the older boys broke off at a faster pace.
 Interesting rock formation.
 The trees are growing on top of this boulder.
 Also just a random waterfall. 
A trail for a different day diverges from this point. A lady coming from there reported a large bear on the trail. We chose not to investigate.

*The Zigmund family is surprisingly similar to us. They moved to Juneau 3 days before we did and have 3 boys. One a year ahead of Alex, one the same age as Zach, and one a year behind Mady. We are grateful to have them as friends.
