On June 27, Scott & I ran an 18 mile loop around Wolverine Peak, past Long Lake and Williwaw Lakes. This run starts from the Prospect Heights trailhead in Anchorage.

We stopped for a dip in Long Lake. Here Scott takes the first plunge. You didn't want to linger in the water, but it wqasn't too cold - we both jumped in twice.

The initial shock was cold, but at this point Scott is starting to feel cool and refreshed.

This is a beautiful run, with lots of mountain peaks, alpine lakes, and open tundra.
