My friend Alice, and I had originally planned to hike all the way to the end of Eklutna Lakeside Trail and back today, for about a full marathon. But Alice still had sore feet and some back pain from our previous hike, so we decided to do something shorter. We hiked the Twin Peaks Trail. She wasn't sure if she felt up to going farther than the first bench, but once there, she wanted to push on. We passed the second bench and went all the way up to the ridge below Pepper Peak to enjoy the fabulous view from up there. It is so amazing. It was also the most perfect day I've ever had up there. Clear blue sky and only a light wind, and also very warm. It was over 70 down in town, and not much cooler up on top. The view will always be one of my favorites.
