This summer, a couple of local gals have scheduled twice-weekly hikes around town. I thought that joining them would be the perfect way to get in some much needed Chilkoot training as well as to meet people. Tonight was the first hike and we went up to a place part of the way up the Dome called Crocus Bluff. It was quite a steep hike, with spectacular views. We came down the ‘old’ Dome Road past some cemeteries.
