    Bike ride/hike
    Several areas of landslide on Erie Mine Trail with alternative routes. Eventually became fluffed out and not able to continue on. Minus 90 minutes time due to forgetting to end track.

    Root Glacier
    One of my favorite hikes in Alaska! We only had baby spikes to cross and that was easy. Other recommended crampons but baby spikes was enough. Can do without either but you’ll only get so far on the glacier
