Alaska Hike #7 - O'Malley Peak

This is the most recent and biggest hike I've done here in Alaska! We hiked the Highest peak that you can see in the Chugach bowl by Anchorage. It was a 4000 ft. elevation gain and took us about 3 hours to reach the summit! One thing I learned about myself and hiking: I really shouldn't wear a hat when I start hiking, because once I put it on I can't take it off and my hair coming out of the hat gets all wet from the sweat dripping down my neck. Gross! This is me and my friend, Molly, from Fort Collins, CO.
We were a little late for it, but some guy hiked up the mountain with his snowboard and then snowboarded down the slope into the lake. Crazy! I'm about to climb up this beast! And there is still more after this!



This picture doesn't capture it, but that lake was so so blue! It looks untouched!
This person is not me

We saw four lakes
I made it!View from the top! The clouds here are amazing!





This is the group of handsome men that I got to hike with! Me and 2 other girls, and how many guys? This was at the very end of the hike; and a very nice way to end it!
