I'd say I would love to do all those same things. I really want to see some cool wild life, which I'm sure will just kind of happen on it's own. This summer is going to be a blast at Gwin's, I can't wait!

I'm really excited about getting out and doing outdoorsy things. I've been to alaska before, but my family vacations consisted of my dad waking us up super early to sight see and go on tours and things (I still adored it, but it was pretty commercial). I've never been hiking before... I mean I've been for walks in the woods... but I don't think they were ever long enough to be considered "hikes." That's something I'd really like to do. I'm also really excited to meet people and make some friends. I think I'm up for just about anything this summer. I think it's going to be awesome.

Kristen-you are going to be in a great spot to get into hiking. The resurrection trail is just right down the road, and is 35 miles long. So you can do as much or as little as you want through some pretty amazing landscape. Then there is the Juneau Falls trek, which looks to be a pretty amazing spot. And also the russian river falls where during the salmon run you can see the fish jumping up the falls and the bears catching the fish.
