The Perserverance Trail is a historic mining area.
Along the first part of the trial the trees were so thick!
This is some kind of prickly plant. You have to watch what you grab when you grab for a branch!
To the left is some old mining equiptment.
This is the beginning of an old gold mine.
Here is what remains of an avalanche that fell sometime this winter.
Here is a beautiful waterfall. The little pools are soooo blue! It was really awesome!
Now all the snow is melted and you can see all the bright geen moss at the Shrine.
You can't really see him, but there is a sea otter in the water. He was so cool! He came right in front of us, but I could't grab the camera quick enough!
You can see the head of a sea lion that was swimming by. There were tons of them out there, but I couldn't seem to get a good picture
You can't see it very well, but all along this section of the trail were little trickles of water coming down the rocks.
We had our lunch here along this little stream in the valley in front of the Herbert Glacier. We even tried to build a little fire to dry out Cody's socks... but we were unsuccessful! But it was fun!
Most of the trail was through the woods. Everything is covered in this bright green moss. The picture can't even do it justice, it was so sweet!
