Thursday - Day 5

Resurrection Pass Trail, Alaska - Our first night back in the tent went better than expected. I feel like I slept better than I did in the cabins. We kept the mesh doors open toward the lake all night, which felt great. Morning was cold, maybe high 40s, but the sky was partly blue and there wasn’t a hint of wind.

Jason spent the morning fishing along the lakeshore for small trout while I wandered the hillside photographing wildflowers. By lunch he had caught four fish.




I made noodles for lunch then curled up for an afternoon nap while Jason headed back out for more fishing. It was a perfect do-nothing day with no miles to worry about.


Before dinner we fished for another hour and added two more trout to the tally. Dinner was Cuban rice and beans, cooked with fire-heated water since we are running low on fuel.


A simple, perfect day. Tomorrow, we hike the nine miles to the south trailhead and finish the last stretch of our Resurrection Pass through-hike.
