We also finally met another couple that are on the RV.net website. They are from Texas staying here at Stoney Creek.
Our hikes started out at Bear Lake which had quite a bit of bear scat, but no bears. However, I can see why the bears like this area as there were quite a few salmon spawning.
We then hiked around the 1st and 2nd Lakes. It was an easy hike with nice views of the small lakes.
Our big hike was yesterday up to the Harding Ice Field. Wow that was a pretty tough hike, but well worth it. Over all it was 10 miles with over 3,000 foot vertical gain. The views were spectacular. However, we are paying for that hiking today! I really hate hiking downhill as it hurts my knees and toes.
We also were blessed with four more bears. A mom grizzly and her two older cubs, and a pretty large black bear. That puts the 2018 total bear count at 53. Woo Hoo!! I now suspect a new world record as we still have the drive down the Alcan.
