You can see from the scale it was a long day
Today, we broke camp for an all day van ride to a campground by the
Matanuska Glacier. Along the way we crossed Thompson Pass, stopped at
the Worthington Glacier for a short hike, then with incredible luck on
weather, stopped at an overlook of the Wrangell Mountains in the
Wrangell St. Elias National Park. We had lunch there and did some
photography. After that we continued on to the the glacier area. The
original plan was to hike a feature called "Lion's Head" with Kyle
going on by himself to set up camp. Marina and I, however, chose not to
join the group. Our hiking styles are different, unless we are doing a
hike just for exercise, we hike slowly on trails we have never been on
, looking all around us. After being told so many times to keep
together due to danger from meeting bears, we decided not to hike with
the group anymore. Good thing we did as well, as the campsite we were
at for the next two days is not one that takes reservations. One of the
sites they wanted was already taken. Marina and I staked out an
alternative. By the time the hikers were done, the campsite was full.
Here is an overview of our drive
