Wednesday - Day 4

Resurrection Pass Trail, Alaska - Restless sleep for me, but Jason's was better. The morning started cool with another stretch of blue sky to greet us. We stood outside with coffee watching the lake and the loons until the mosquitoes convinced us to retreat. 

We lingered around the cabin longer than necessary because the hike would be short today. Just a few miles. I don't have any more cabins reserved so just tent camping for the rest of the hike.

The hike to Juneau Lake was only four miles but the bugs were relentless. We finally had to pull out our headnets for the first time. Not our favorite way to hike but completely required.

Spotted a mama loon settled on her nest along the shore of Juneau Lake.

We felt pretty lucky to find our hidden campsite from two years ago empty on this sunny holiday weekend. We set up the tent for our first night out of the cabins with a view over Juneau Lake. The plan is to stay here two nights and then hike out on July 4 to meet Trout at the south trailhead. No hiking tomorrow. Hopefully the breeze dies down so Jason can flyfish the lake.
