Castner Hike

Toward the end of April, Jared and I headed down to the Deltas, the eastern edge of the Alaska Range, to kick around on a glacier for the day.


We decided to hike up the Castner Glacier for a while. Here's a view looking up the glacier - while it had been blustery and cloudy driving down, things looked pretty good over where we were hiking.


Knee deep in a post-hole. We ended up switching to snow shoes eventually, but the snow was a bit too rotten even for them in some places, and we spent quite a bit of time knee deep in snow.


Jared by where a creek was cutting through the glacier. All of this is covered by snow in winter - you can't even tell it's there.


Jared descending next to a small lake that formed on top of the glacier. It was a good short hike, and cool to be back on glaciers and back in snow.
