A Very Special Episode. Year in Review 2010. Year in Review 2009. October 24th, 2011. A tour of camp. We’re just about ready to pack it up and leave Lake Dunmore for the year, so I thought I’d post a little tour of the cottage before we left. Some of the pictures are from earlier in the fall when the leaves were still green! Are bringing their two boys (ages 4 and 1) to camp in the summer all the way from Alaska. BUT, we’re excited for the next chapter in our big adventure (Brooklyn! Your email address w...

Alaska Adventures by Trond. Friday, July 20, 2012. The Beak (4730 ft), Chugach National Park, July 20th, 2012. 27 km (17 miles), 2620 m (8590 ft) total elevation gain. 8 hours roundtrip. So far, it's been a summer with few opportunities for peak-bagging. It seems like the few nice days we've had have been mid-week while the weekends have been socked in. Finally, on Friday, July 20th, I got away to climb The Beak (4730 ft) from the Bird Ridge. Bird Ridge Overlook (4625 ft) left and The Beak (4730 ft) right.

Alaska Adventures by Trond. Sunday, March 27, 2011.

The total trip, outlined below, was just over 30 miles. Skiing on the snow machine trails works great and there are not that many snow machiners this time of the year. Posted by Trond Jensen.
