Bush Trip: Part 3

Our last full day :(
Looking upriver...no significant changes in a couple of days.
The snow bridge.
Downstream view
Not the most beautiful weather day for it but we decided to hike up on the mountain right behind their place.
Bright enough for sunglasses though, even though I wasn't wearing any.
Great rocky ridgelines.


Upriver view
Fun, fun, fun! :)

Looking up at the mountain...that's not even the summit!  But we decided it was a good point to turn around, so we could go pack and have a relaxing evening.
Going down.

The next day...we are headed out.  Our friend went with us so he could get another load of supplies to freight in.  
Checking that same snowbridge that we had previously.
Good to go!  He is taking one of their dog sleds out, since they aren't running dogs anymore.
Andrew crossing the snowbridge.


Taking a final look.
Looking downstream from that snowbridge.
Looking upstream.


Stopped for a quick break.



Back to the other 60 mile section...not as exciting when compared to the river travel.  But what started out as an overcast day turned into a beautiful blue sky day.
Moose on the trail.  This was the fourth moose we saw on the trail.  Mostly they ran off and disappeared so quickly we couldn't ever get any pictures, but not this one.  It wasn't sure if it wanted to leave the trail until we got close.
We also saw a hawk owl, we think anyways, in a previously burned area.
