the pinnell mountain trail is, typically, a 3 day backpacking trip- broken up by two storm shelters. we only had two days however, so we did it in two. 10 miles the first day, and 17 miles the second.
it rained for every damn mile. the kind of biting horizontal rain that tests your balance and your resolve. it was a true initiation to the alaska backcountry for steve (and us too for that matter). an epic weekend for sure. we are dried out now, and beer is proving to be the best medicine.
the weather was pretty fierce the second day, and i barely took my Camera out, so the worst will live in our stories only. it's rare that we get visitors up here (wonder why, after a trip like this?) so the images are all steve...
preparing for the rain at mile 1.
the fog and rain limited our views to limitless miles of alaskan tundra.
day one shelter.
and finally...
steve- day one.
steve- day 2.
this trip won't make the tourism brochure.
