to Roosevelt Lagoon where there is a state maintained dock
at the trail head. There we met Scott
and Gail who are retired Park Service Rangers from the State of Utah. Scott was a federal ranger while Gail worked for
the state. They now split their time
between Ketchikan and Utah.
We hiked along the north side of Roosevelt Lagoon. The trail is made up of short runs of boardwalk,
gravel paths and a mud trail. We were
unable to see any trumpeter swans which are noted to be here. They are now endangered, with their numbers
dwindling because they are very sensitive to any disruption in the environment.
We did see evidence of bear and a wolf footprint in the mud
– but nothing up close.
After visiting some more with Scott and Gail we rowed back
to Second Chance and got underway.
