This was a Valley Wanderers hike, but most of the Valley Wanderers were either biking in Denali Park or off traveling elsewhere. Today it was just Sarah and me, and of course Bella. The trail is in pretty good condition, considering how extremely muddy it is everywhere else. There were definitely some nasty muddy spots, but it was easy to navigate around them. By the time we reached the ridge, we were cloud walkers. The clouds and fog were swirling around us. We didn't get the pleasure of the amazing view from up on the knoll, but it was still mysteriously beautiful. Almost all of the snow is gone up there now. I had a great time hiking with Sarah. I enjoyed having the chance to get to know her better since I wasn't competing with the rest of the group for conversation. It was a really pleasant little 3.22 mile hike. My dog is a muddy mess and will be going directly to the kitchen sink for a much needed bath.
