| Starting out |
 |
| You can see the start of the fog |
 |
| A view back |
 |
| The fateful fog |
 |
| We need to learn where to look |
 |
| The water was extremely clear |
 |
| Checking it out |
 |
| We didn't know where to go, so we chose right (which was wrong) |
 |
| So we took the much harder route and prayed we were headed in the correct direction (the water had to be coming from somewhere, right) |
 |
| Ah, climbing up |
 |
| It was a balmy 65 degrees |
 |
| What could that be... a lake! |
 |
| The view from our picnic spot |
 |
| Smile! |
 |
| Heading toward the waterfalls, we found the trail! |
 |
| Someone wasn't cooperating for the photo |
 |
| And we made it to Upper Reed Lake |
 |
| Sun was shining and the fog was lifting! |
 |
| Afternoon siesta |
 |
| Amazing view! |
 |
| Capturing the sun we so rarely see this summer |
 |
| Our hike back (9 miles roundtrip, but knows how much we added by taking our own route) |
 |
| We looked back to see our progress |
 |
| View from the waterfall back toward what we now know as Lower Reed Lake |
 |
| Ah, so that's the trail we should have been on |
 |
| Back to the boulder field (dogs weren't recommended on this hike, but Wilson did great over the boulders) We did it in just over 6 hours, including lunch and lounge time |
 |
| Heading out of on the 49mi drive to Willow, AK on the road that was once the only route to the nime |
 |
| Here at the actual Hatcher Pass |
