It was cold this morning on the mountain so had our little gas heater going and it was soon toasty.

Today we stopped off for two hikes. The first one was to the million dollar falls, which was a very brown waterfall. It looked like tannin in the water.

The second hike was to a rock glacier. It was a little scary walking through the bushes at the start, knowing there are many grizzly’s around. But it was a neat walk up a rocky glacier. It was all the rubble the glacier left behind when it receded.

After our walk we went to Haines junction to fuel up. We ran into a German couple we met a few days ago. It’s funny how we keep running into people we know!

We didn’t drive far today. We drove past a beautiful scenic spot overlooking a gorgeous lake and I said to Mike we must camp there. So he turned around and we parked up. It’s such a beautiful spot with a long beach with black volcanic sand. We are so lucky with all these amazing places to camp for free.

We chatted to a couple from Texas and another couple from Arizona who are also staying here.

After dinner we went for a nice walk along the beach. At 8pm the sun is still high in the sky and the wind had dropped and it was nice and warm.

A coyote crossing the road was the only wildlife of interest today. Speaking to other people, they haven’t seen any grizzly’s yet, so we are really lucky to have seen two already. Perhaps it’s our slow pace.
