Mount Evans

Going to Mount Evans is one of our favorite ways to escape the summer heat!

The kids enjoyed the cool air at Summit Lake.

Super and her friend, looking like soon-to-be teenagers. (Noooooooo!)

Another friend, gazing into one of the tundra pools.
(Don't fall in! That water is COLD!)

The view looking the other direction. (I've never seen the Alaskan tundra, but I can imagine Miyax watching the wolves in a place much like this.)

Tundra wildflowers seem too delicate to thrive here.

I love the mosses and lichens here, too.

One of the kids asked to borrow my camera and she took some interesting photos...

Not sure if she meant to do this, but I thought it was kinda funny...

Everywhere you look there is something alive. Can you see the water bug in the center of this photo? How can it survive in such cold water?

The highest paved road in North America.

The locals were pretty blasé about us tourists!

You messy glaciers, always leaving piles of rocks everywhere!

Hope you're having a great summer, too!
