"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

Crow Pass Crossing


Last weekend I hiked Crow Pass, a 26-mile traverse from Girdwood to Eagle River!  Here are some pictures of my adventure.

We borrowed someone's car and couldn't get the trunk open
so had to revert to packing all the gear in with us...
it was quite a squeeze but we managed for the drive down to Girdwood.

Starting out!

Marie and I heading up towards Crow Pass

Random Waterfall (there were a lot of those)

Raven Glacier, from the top of Crow Pass

The morning of the second day we had to cross Eagle River.
Here is the ford site.

After the successful (and cold) river crossing

I'm pointing to Eagle Glacier, the water source for Eagle River.
Needless to say, the water was frigid. 

Campsite for the second night

Eagle River at Echo Bend, almost done!

The trail ended at the Eagle River Nature Center,
here's some history of the trail.

There were a lot of bears...
We actually only saw 4, and one with a cub!
(thankfully all a good distance away)

Crow Pass complete!
