ANOTHER MARATHON HIKE

The day started with a nice stroll through the Jensen-Olson Arboretum.
The vegetable garden provided produce to Juneau grocers in the early
1900s and continues to assist with local food banks.
The arboretum was a gift to Juneau from Caroline Jensen, a long-time
resident and Master Gardener.

Next on the agenda; a hike along the Herbert Glacier Trail.
The trail is 4.6 miles long and winds up at the Herbert Glacier; the
only problem is you have to hike the same 4.6 miles back to the trail
head and car.
We found a car along the trail that was unable to complete the round
trip.
The mosquitos could have made the hike very uncomfortable if we had
had not worn are mosquito nets.
KC declared this hike a tribute to Michael Jackson since he was know
for his different head coverings.
