Alaska, Summer 2011, Part 11: We did it!

Part 11 in a series about our trip to Alaska in late June through mid-July, 2011.

On Sunday afternoon, we decided to finish our Coastal Trail adventure.  This time, Jonas, Selah, and my dad joined us.  It was a gorgeous day and an easy walk.  Along the way, we walked very close to the tidal mud flats and had a great view of Sleeping Lady across the Inlet.

Here’s the proof that we walked the whole trail to the very end!

Technically, it’s the beginning because we actually started at the end.  Got that?

Sadly, the very end is very unimpressive.  It just stops at a random intersection.  That wasn’t so fun.  But the kids’ school is only a couple blocks past the trailhead so we walked there to be picked up by Eric.

And, happily, their school is across the street from the Anchorage Market so while we were waiting for Eric, we celebrated with some piping hot, fresh kettle corn.  That’s the way I like to end a hike!

And check this one off the list!
