Hike report: Mt. Roberts Trail, Juneau, Alaska
September 1st, 2008Local hiker Randy L. was in Alaska awhile back, and left an account on the Hike Reports page. A highlight:
Once above the tree line, the views are simply breathtaking. Our ship docked very early in the morning and all aboard was at 8:00 PM. It was pure luck that we got a mostly clear day. It was foggy in the morning but later on it cleared, with intermittent patches of misty fog drifting through. The clearing pockets revealing snowy peaks in all directions, panoramic vistas, and a stunning view down to Gastineau channel and the city of Juneau. I wish I could bottle the smell of the crystal clean air.

I grew up in Alaska, the most beautiful country in the world. Very diverse too. Dying to take my family up there when they get a little older.
