The days of Daughter's visit have flowed by: sunny, warm and lovely. Both inveterate walkers, we have been hiking every day here on the Island, in the Tongass Rainforest. Yesterday we walked the Three Lakes trail to Ideal Cove.
 |
| Flossy was our guide, of course. |
 |
| Hill Lake, where the trail splits off to the salt water of Frederick Sound |
 |
| The water lilies are particularly bright in the sunshine. |
 |
| The trail is in great shape, boardwalk all the way. |
 |
| Arriving at the beach, we stopped for a minute to rest, and sniff around. |
 |
| Spot the Sheltie! |
 |
| Horn Cliffs on the right, looking Northwest up Frederick Sound. |
 |
| LeConte Bay - those white things at the base of the island are icebergs from the glacier up there. |
 |
| Too soon, time to head back home. |
 |
| The wildflowers love the sunny summer days as much as we do. |
 |
| Forget-me-not - the State flower; Yes, days to remember forever! |
That is all, entirely beyond gorgeous, Susan, with such breathtaking mountain views ~ a glorious place! Lucky that you have such fine footpaths ... are they maintained by the park service? volunteers? Such a fine way to spend time with daughter & fluffy one.
