Sperry glacier


Sperry Glacier is a really really really long way away! We had to wake up when it was still dark to get ready for this hike, our last hike. Scott said something about an 'easy day hike', so we were pretty happy, even though Ann looked concerned.
Well.
We went up. And up. And up. Through woods. Through fields. Through narrow trails. Through rocks. Through ice. And then when we thought we were there, we weren't! It was FURTHER!
But we made it, and here we are at the top. Phew! So much for an easy day hike!
We made up time on the end by sliding down the glacier which was fun! But then we still had a long walk down and we started to get nervous as it got dark. What about the bears? Bears! We were singing and singing to try to scare off the bears. We thought we could make friends with them, but then we got worried that these bears might not be interested. Luckily, we made it down by the hair on our tails! Oh yummy dinner time and sleep!!!! SLEEP! What a day! What a hike! Now we know what to make of Scott's 'easy day hikes' after all.
