Two of my favorite adventures of the summer were Lost Lake
and Point Hope. The weather, the
scenery, and the people made both of these excursions absolutely
wonderful! Although Hope is at the
end of the road in the middle of nowhere, I have actually been there a few
times. I camped there with the
Birchwood interns a couple years ago, and I had my confirmation retreat
there. I really enjoyed coming back
and exploring the town and mountains again with the Chase family! Here are some pictures of the Point
Hope trip.

The fact that my mom joined me on the Lost Lake hike made
that day even more fantastic. The
hike, though long, is not really that hard. The 16-mile hike only gains about 2,000 ft. elevation, and
the trail winds through the woods up to rolling hills that can only be compared
to the Sound of Music. We had a
wonderful time!

I highly recommend both of these hikes if you ever get the
chance! I had wonderful summer in
Seward and I was sad to have to leave.
Thanks to the Chase family for making my stay so great! Thankfully I know that God has many
more adventures in store for me that I can’t even begin to imagine. Good-bye Alaska! I will miss you!
