hiking the kesugi ridge was a success. we left the parking lot in denali state park friday at noon, and finished our adventure on sunday at the same time. in 48 hours we hiked 43km (28 miles) on difficult terrain. also, it was quite rainy - but we had cake! the trip was guided by max and bryce from uaf outdoor adventures. they wanted to scout the ridge for future trips with more students. isabel and I were their guinea pigs. :-) and, it was the first time I saw a black bear in the wild.
