hiking with a pup

Hatcher's Pass is our favorite place to play... we love all our spring, summer and fall hikes and we adore all the winter fun it provides!  Now, all our hikes are even more entertaining as we have a pup to chase through the tundra!

Noah was Rosco's li'l hiking buddy~ he stuck by this guy as he scratched and sniffed every weasel's hole!



our 10 week old pup was worn out once we reached Gold Cord Lake.  We thought it was so cute that he settled in for a nap next to all our packs!  I was trying to get a pic of our tuckered~out pup while Savannah kept photo~bombing!
this photo~bomb is my fav... Savannah, our li'l tease,  you keep us laughing!


Parker and his dog!  It's sure been fun to watch Parker become more responsible as he takes care of Rosco~ he's been a HUGE help and it's so sweet to watch him truly enjoy his new puppy!
Marmots!!! We often hear these marmots but it's rare to actually see them.   But on this particular day, this big guy let Parker get within 2 feet of him.  We always call Parker our "mountain goat" as he can dash across these boulders without stopping, so it was no surprise that he was able to sneak up on this marmot!  We were all shocked to learn that they are about 2-3 feet tall!
these shots are rather fuzzy but that's because I am NOT a "mountain goat" and I had to zoom all the way out!
Another one of Parker's fun finds was this rusty old shovel!
