Braided River - August 2023 Denali National Park in Alaska is six million acres set aside for wilderness and preservation. The Teklanika river runs through Denali. During the spring melt, it flows from bank to bank, but for the rest of the year it splits into many different ribbons and braids itself into interesting patterns. I took this image at the Teklanika Rest Stop as we took a bus tour of Denali. MWM

Teklanika River, Denali National Park

During a 2007 archaeological survey of the park, my crew and I would hike from our base camp at the Teklanika River below to this spot on the ridge and beyond. We did this almost everyday for half a month. After a few days of this, I'd no longer feel that burning sensation in my calves. And by the end of our two weeks, we had gotten our uphill climb from camp to this point above the trees to 1 hour and 6 minutes.

If for any reason we took a day off, the next trip up the mountain was brutal on the legs. Apparently our muscles were trying to heal themselves during their resting time, but we never gave them enough of a chance. When we were hiking consecutive days, we had no problems at all. My first shower back in civilization, I was drying off my calves and was a little shocked. They didn’t even feel like mine. It was amazing how huge they’d gotten without my noticing.
