More Bears

Or possibly the same bear.

See her on the sidewalk?
Blocking traffic.
The next pictures are from our front door.

Walking Phil to work, and this bear came around the car to say good morning. Fortunately she was more interested in the garbage can than us.

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.

The salmon ladder had a few unintended users.   After watching the interlopers/opportunists, we were able to tour the facility and saw the giant tanks full of salmon fry, the touch tanks, aquarium, and the hands on salmon. Next up was a trip to the Walter Soboloff Building and the Sealaska Heritage Institute. We were given a quick tour and then we heard stories and songs from the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Peoples.

This week we planned to hike to the Dan Moller Cabin . It's a longer hike, so we packed sandwiches and headed out. The trail started out fairly steep and continued along a boardwalk through the meadow. When we came to a T in the road, our map said to continue up to get to the cabin. Unfortunately, we did not see a trail continuing up and decided to go south instead.  The southern trail led back to the neighborhood below.  We decided to take our lunches to the beach and try this trail another day. Many of the kids decided to wade in the water.  And of course hang out on the beach.
