CARTER TRAIL to CRESCENT LAKE

 Carter to Crescent Lake Hike



Day hiking - what to take

ICE - In Case of Emergence - this is a laminated list of people to call and a list of meds (none for me), and things I am allergic to, - codeine
Rain gear in my bag
Hot hands and toe warmers
Medical supplies
Duct tape - part of my medical supplies :D
Mirror - or something that will reflect light
iphone charger
Extra snacks
Water of course
Water filter - life straw is good
Dog treats
She pee
Wipes or TP

A bag to put TP into - carry it in, carry it out.
Extra socks
Light weight gloves
If it’s August I will have a plastic container for berries :D

ALWAYS bear spray

Dog lead -  for the most part she runs free, but to be on the safe side, I do take her lead along. 

 I could not find a camp spot in Seward, the Salmon derby was going on.  Seward was packed, so I went up to Carter Lake trail head and car camped.  Gypsie was ok with that.   We were going to hike out the next morning.

 The path was pretty easy, and the view incredible

 Getting water and cooling off.

 The fireweed looked beautiful, even if it was dying

 Purple pinecones

 She will walk in the water, but not swim.  so I tossed her off a small ledge  :D She swam to shore.

My friend and I swam in the water.  REFRESHING - Crescent Lake
