Mt. Healy

On Wednesday afternoon, Mike and I spontaneously drove down to Denali. It was one of those spur of the moment ideas that led us to hiking Mt. Healy. As you can see from the trail sign, the hike ascends 1,664 feet. I felt every inch of the vertical climb! When we got to the top, it was a balmy 46 degrees with 20-30 MPH winds. Needless to say, we looked around and high-tailed it out of there!

It may only be 2.3 miles to the top, but it was a tough 2.3!

Mike and I braved the bitter winds for a quick pic.

The view from the top was breathtaking!

At this point, I had lost feeling in my hands

because they were soooooo cold.

Mike has a hard time standing up against the wind (not)!
