Williwaw in the rain

A couple weeks ago, we headed out to Williwaw Lakes. It's another trail jumping pretty much straight out of Anchorage that I've been wanting to do for a while. We planned to do an overnight at the lakes, but ran into some nasty weather - rain and strong winds. So instead, we decided to just run it as a day trip. It's a long out and back (about 13 miles, depending on which route you take), so I was glad to do it with just a rain jacket, snacks, and a few lenses instead of a big pack.













What goes up...



... Must come down.















Just like our trip to Fuller Lakes, we came across some sheep on the trail that were a pretty good distance away. With my deepest lens, this was the closest I could get without a major side-trip, but it was really neat to see these young Dalls grazing up the on the hill. I promise to put up some real wildlife photography in an upcoming post of a trip I just did with my brother to Denali National Park. But for now, this is just a nice memory.
