Confucius says, “Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” It sounds a bit metaphorical, but it’s so true. There’s so much life and beauty in Alaska, everyone should witness it at least once. Beyond the “simplicity” of gorgeous landscapes, there is so much beauty when you 👀 closer. Beauty is in the dirt, bugs, cobwebs, and pebbles. Mike, Courtney, and myself set out on an adventure to #eklutnalake a paradise loaded with different species of plants, fungus, lichen, berries, and a dreamy glacial lake. We tried a total of 8 edible berries on our way up to the alpine: #watermelonberry #crowberry #highbushcranberry #lingonberry #blueberries #raspberries #bunchberry and #serviceberry (saskatoons). We did NOT try the #baneberry or #soapberries 🤢. Nor should you!! Thanks friends! Until we meet again. . . . . #findyourbeauty #alaskathebeautiful #hikealaska #gohikealaska #exploreyourwild #travelalaska #visitanchorage #hiking #adventure #adventuretime #fun #outdoors #nature #rei1440project #optoutside (at Eklutna Lake Twin Peak Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEZscQOHp6e/?igshid=m6elws0ibkfs
