well....the hike was beautiful.
we spotted a black bear searching for berries across the valley and mountain goats galore.
old remnants of the monarch mine were scattered along the way. (the mine was a lode (vein) mine active from 1909 to 1938. just after the turn of the twentieth century, hundreds of prospectors heading for other parts of the state on the Iditarod Trail passed the Monarch’s undiscovered vein without knowing it.)
we left our mark on the cabin, had a little nipsy to stay warm, and then decided that a hotel sounded real nice.
