| On the way up Sunnahae Mountain, Craig |
December 27, Tuesday We have pancakes for breakfast, yum. Today is the only full day that we are all together. Jared has been itching to tackle Sunnahae Mountain in Craig again, so we suit up and head out. It's cold and snowy, but otherwise not bad weather. This trail is steep, and only partially rebuilt. Most of it is narrow, root-invested, and wet, making for muddy ground and slippery roots, walkways, and logs. It's a beautiful hike through the forest and parallels a loud creek.
This time, we make it a little farther than the last time up, and when Jared and I reach our limits, Brady and Faith continue up a bit more. The views of Craig, the surrounding straits and islands, and the mountains are very cool. We linger a bit and enjoy these views. Next we start the hike back down, which, with the roots, notched-log walkways, and wet wooden stairs make the return trip more challenging. We take our time, wisely, and have no major slips.
