So, I came up with an idea to go try for some sheep and moose down near Seward. We saw a goat. And a small black bear. And one single moose turd (no photographic proof of any of them).
We stayed one night and it rained about 80% of the time. It was fun anyway, and like Eric said, now we can cross this place off the list. This is the end of the trail, we're somewhere around 4000 ft elevation. There is a gold claim on the other side of this bowl that is near the two little white spots of snow on the right side of the picture. There's a huge yellow generator on a cliff. You'd have to open the picture to see it. We hiked nearly another 1000 ft to the top of the mountain to our right and saw the one goat across the next valley. Goat season starts in November. He's safe.
This is my first ptarmigan with a bow. These are the white birds I've posted before. This one is in its summer color phase. We cooked these over our camp fire on a stick. DANG! It was good! Better than anyway I've cooked them in the comfort of my own home. I was shocked.
This is the view from the trail. You can see the trail below, it's just switch-back after another all the way up the mountain. The big lake is Kenai Lake. The little one is Trails Lake. There s a town between the two called Moose Pass. I think because the moose passed it up and kept on walkin' by. Nice view.
