| On the road: we had beautiful weather on Saturday (I blame Cody for the rain on Sunday after he complained that it'd been 'too hot') |
 |
| All packed up! (I'm not allowed to pack the car) |
 |
| Wonderful views down the Arm |
 |
| I'd picked out a short hike at Portage since we'd never visited there in nice weather |
 |
| The 0.8mi hike to Byron Glacier still had snow: and boy was Wilson happy! (These Asian tourists LOVED Wilson) |
 |
| First, getting to play with his girlfriend before leaving, and then snow! |
 |
| Short scramble to get a better view. We decided not to go further on the trail because there were reports of people falling through the snow since it'd been so warm out |
 |
| The hike back to the car |

| Another glacier on the drive out |
 |
| The snow wore Wilson out |
 |
| Our campsite... |
 |
| The view to the east |
 |
| We were right on the river, but it just wasn't exactly what we expected (we scouted out better campgrounds for our next trip) |
 |
| And we made it to the Russian River Falls trail (after refusing to pay $11, we had to hike an extra mile to the trail... worth it) |
 |
| Taking a break to watch the sport fishers |
 |
| We even saw a couple fishermen catch salmon |
 |
| A view from below the deck at the falls |
 |
| I finally caught a jumping salmon: it was exciting to see something we'd only read/heard about |
 |
| Forgive Cody's expression: he had a bum eye all weekend |
 |
| Amazing views |
 |
| Along the hike back... no bears seen! |
 |
| He loves to build a fire! |
 |
| He gladly made roasting sticks with his leatherman |
 |
| Tired pooch |
 |
| Maneuvering a melty s'more |
 |
| Whole campsite view |
 |
| This picture was taken at about 12:15am... still light out (no camping lanterns needed this trip!) |
