Road Trippin' : Oregon Coast

May 2014: A few day whirlwind of sand dunes, surf towns, lighthouses, forests, and lots of PB&J

Skilak Lakes Rec Area: Hidden Lake, Alaska

Another amazing day of exploring Alaska's lakes via stand-up-paddleboard with Jennah Jones! Late October - a bit chilly (even in wetsuits) but Hidden Lake (about 2 hours from Anchorage) was beautiful, calm and pretty much deserted! Hidden Lake is a nice alternative to Skilak because it's more sheltered from the wind. We stopped to explore a little island and scoped out a nice paddle-packing overnight trip for next season :)
