Day 4 - Smedberg Lake to Seavey Pass...

Today, the ladies left Smedberg Lake and headed up Seavey Pass, a distance of 7.7 miles. Along the way, they stopped to have lunch and relax at Benson Lake which has a beautiful, sandy beach. You might remember their stop here last year - in the pouring rain!

Benson Lake - 2006...

This year, the weather was perfect and they enjoyed a long rest stop here where they relaxed, sunbathed and went swimming!


The "Benson Rivera"...

Along the way, they encounterd a small bear cub cruising along near the trail. They kept a watchful eye out for mamma bear just in case she was nearby...

After their extended lunch break, they continued up to Seavey Pass where they camped at a small tarn near the top.


Peaceful evening...
