South Fork Valley

The first part is a good warm up to the rest of the trail. Continue across the saddle for an easy hike and nice view.  Star loves to chase squirrels. Midway is Hanging Valley and in the back are Eagle and Symphony Lakes. Once you get to the ridge line, the hardest part is over.

What a great place to own a home. Anchorage is barely visible in the foreground.  Arctic Valley is immediately in front. Murphy's Law says the cloud will pass over the peak just as I make it to the top and won't go away till I'm back down. ...Murphy's Law proven once again.
