Start of the trail
Boardwalk
The Granite Tors trail starts out largely on boardwalks crossing marshy wetland.
In the valley
After crossing the Chena River we have over a mile of walking on flat terrain.
Taiga
Along the Granite Tors Trail
Stunted black spruce from permafrost.
Old burn
Walking the boardwalks
About a mile into the Granite Tors trail
Along the Trail
A little ponding on the stream next to the trail. The birch trees on the hill are starting to green-up.
Looking back
Stopping for some pictures looking downstream from the direction that we came.

Gun . . . check. Home depot insulation . . . check. Sleevies . . . check. Pocket full of candy . . . check. Other pocket full of bullets . . . check.
Looking back down the trail not long after starting to hike up to the ridge from the valley floor.

On the Granite Tors trail
Still going up
I won't lie, the uphill section of this hill felt a little endless
Avoiding the snow
Trying to not need to posthole too much by walking between the snowfields.
Tors are in sight
Still a bit more hill to fight
Yup
Not much to say. Jason. What came next was the amusing quote, "Help . . . my gun is stuck, help."
