Suicide Day Hike

The Suicides were 2 of the 3 mountains we weren't able to hit on our Integration attempt.  Situated next to each other, North and South Suicide look like identical twins from a distance.  I hiked both of them on a sunny summer day.

Looking out at the Chugach from North Suicide.  The amount of terrain Alaska has to offer is constantly staggering.

 Saw these guys as I was hiking back.  They were part of a group of about 10 goats hanging out by some lakes below the Suicides.

 A view of South Suicide from the saddle between the two peaks.  The approach from the saddle was relatively steep, with some fun hand-over-hand scrambling on the climb up.

 Looking back towards Cook Inlet.  The mountains really start to pop when the valley fills in with green.  On my walk back to the car, I probably saw 50 or 75 people headed out to Rabbit Lake (at the base of the Suicides) for the day.  Anchorage had an unusual run of warm sunny weather this summer, and everyone was taking advantage.
