I've been wanting to hike the Thunderbird Falls trail all summer. This afternoon turned out pretty nice, so on a whim we packed up the boys and went! It's supposed to be a pretty easy hike, if you get past the first 200 yards. I thought this very out of shape girl might not make it. I had to ask Rich, if I pass out, which way should I fall? (answer, on your face, not on the baby).
Can you see the forest for the trees?
This is the halfway point (a half mile in) looking over the gorge. It looks over the Eklutna River, which drains from Eklutna Lake. This is where we get our water from.
Family photo opp. We didn't stand together because we wanted the falls in the picture.

We kept having to pause on the way back because Avery would get fussy, wanting his Wowah. So I would have to walk close to Rich so Avery could reach out and touch Noah. This happened 5 or 6 times!
