Gulkana Glacier

gulkana glacier is off the richardson at about mile marker 200. this is the start of our hike and you see gulkana in the background.

dan, ashley and ben looking for sky. she took off chasing two caribou out of the valley.
dan crossing the suspension bring over college river. pella, caz and sky had to swim across and they were caught in the current for a little ways as they made their way over to the other side.
ashley crossing the bridge and pella in the river making her way across.
Julie (more photos) and Ashely up the canyon to the right of where we started our glacier, they are crossing the runoff creek here. I like the perspective of the canyon walls, these glaciers are huge.
Farther up the glacier, we separated here because of the dogs and crevasse danger.Here is Ashley on the glacier hike over a small crevasse.
inside a small crevasse, ben took this...i already headed back with pella.
julie and caz crossing and julie getting ready to cross one of many small braids of the river on the way back.
lunch break near the end of our hike. pella was one tired dog.
