Made it back to Byers Lake the weekend of November 20 -21. While the temps in the days leading up to the trip were really cold, by the time we left Friday morning heading north it had warmed up to just above zero. Pretty clear as we drove north and could see most of the "mountain." Made it to the parking lot by 2 pm and then a short mile or so to Cabin 2. Lake was frozen pretty solid so we bypassed the trail and cut across the ice. Nice cabin with an awesome view of the Alaska range. Later that night we did a night hike following the trail back around the lake. Just enough to get the blood flowing. Saturday we hiked back to the cars and met some friends in for the day. We hiked the five plus miles around the lake and even tried to climb to the Kesugi Ridge trail high above. We got partway and decided to turn back as it was getting dark. Lots of card playing Saturday night and Sunday morning. Enjoyed a light snowfall and warmer temps as we hiked out Sunday afternoon.
Cool cabin wear for Saturday night!
Champ loves to walk on ice.
