September, 2007 A fall trip to Devil's Pass

Tundra plants glow in the bright evening sun

The forest service cabin is in a spectacular setting

Devil's Lake sits just below Devil's Pass

Fall colors in the bright sun

The Juneau Creek valley leads down toward Cooper Landing.

Crowberries compete with lichen on the tundra

Kris checks the GPS after lunch

Kris approaches a strange object on the top of a remote peak

The other side of the mountain provided views of Resurrection Pass

Someone had a bad day in the alpine wilderness

CSI Kris checks the dental records

A merganser enjoys a beaver pond near the passes

We return to the cabin after a long hike

The next morning we awoke to snow on the high peaks

Clouds float through the pass

The Kenai Peninsula scenery takes the pain out of a 24 mile weekend
