Impromptu hike!

So tonight I was riding around with Jason while he was patrolling the park and his phone went off. The camp hosts had left a vague message of an injured hiker up on the ridge. Needless to say we hurried back to the campground to try and find more details and he decided he should hike up and see what was going on. This was about 11:00pm. I decided to join and although I couldn't keep up the entire way I'm glad I went! The view of Denali was amazing! At about tree line you could see it clear as day with alpenglow to highlight it. I was alone for a good part of the hike, but I kept on trekking up the steep trail. I heard something rustle so I stopped to look and listen and then all of a sudden I saw...Jason. He said the look on my face was priceless, I can only imagine! As for the hiker, turns out he is just really sore from the hike, which is understandable because he is 70 years old and it's about a 27mi hike! He said he was fine and he was just going to take his time getting down so Jason and I headed back down and here I am at 1:15am posting this blog!

Goodnight all!
