Beginning of Alpine Creek. Alpine Creek starts at the lake outlet in the bottom of this picture
Crossing a tributary of Windy Creek. My waterproof leather boots & Kuiu gaiters kept my feet dry here, but I had less luck in the thigh-deep holes of whitewater in rain-swollen Windy Creek itself a couple hours later.

Denali Highway back in view after hiking 19 miles.
Looking up toward the pass we had to go through to start our second day hiking.
Whorled lousewort (Pedicularis verticillata). This might also belong to other Pedicularis species, including sudetica and langsdorfii... I'm just guessing.
Some species of the genus Spiraea, I'm not sure which.
Panoramic view of the mile-wide shoulder of a tundra ridge with a little valley in the middle.
Jacob's ladder (Polemonium). A few different purple species of the genus Polemonium are found in Alaska, and I'm not sure which one this is.
