Hiking Lazy mountain trail, Palmer
Lazy Mountain rated as moderate/difficult, was more on the difficult scale this time around because of the rains. Very slippery.

These trees proved very valuable on the way down. It was so slippery we fell numerous times. Some of these trees broke our fall when we rolled down the mountain.
We did make it to the very top.
We've been to Alaska thrice & climbed Lazy Mountain all three times!!!
A precious apple to celebrate the ascent.
