Bold Peak from near the beginning of the trail
It was a hot day under the bright sun, and the pups took advantage of the many streams and puddles along the trail.

The thin ice enhanced the glacial blueness of the lake. It reminded me of bubble-gum ice cream.
Eklutna became hot and tired rather quickly
Kiliak, as usual, had no problem keeping up

The Mitre
We turned around before reaching the end of the lake because we worried about the prospect of having to carry Eklutna out if she couldn't make it back to the trailhead under her own power. We see here two tuckered out pups.
Two days later we came back with Kiliak to see if we could reach the end of the trail. It was a beautiful day, but we were on a tight timeline. 5/7/2004

Always wear a helmet
At the end of the lake, we began to hear a loud rumbling like a passenger jet flying at low altitude nearby. It turned out to be a whopper of an avalalnche coming off of the western slopes of Bold Peak.
How ironical
Another fresh avalanche near the Red Spot Glacier

Past the bridge, we kept on truckin'
A really neat arete on the northern aspect of The Mitre. I'll bet there are some sweet rock climbs up there.
We ran out of time about two miles before the glacier and had to turn around...but not before taking a few pictures.

Awww, good dog.
