This is one of the best trails for views of Turnagain Arm. About here is where you notice a shift in ecosystems. Don't be fooled.  You think the lake is right over the ridge but it's another 3 miles. It was 3 years later before I finally saw it unfrozen.

Almost Done Ascending

Frozen Rabbit Lake

There's also a Homicide Peak nearby. You really get a sense of the power of a glacier and how much it can mold the land. Who named these mountains anyway! This is the trail from DeArmoun Road.

North Suicide Peak I

McHugh Valley 

South Suicide Peak

Rabbit Creek

All this snow and I was actually too warm from the sun. You can see why this mountain still has snow in the summer - see above - Hardly any sun hits its side. Can't wait till this is melted - a long way off. You can just make out Sleeping Lady way in the back.
