Mentor Trek Day 3 – Back at Mendenhall Glacier

That afternoon, we returned to Mendenhall Glacier with the group. I had shot earlier in the week when the three of us were there alone, so this time Noel went off with the group onto some of the trails surrounding the park. Robbie and I roamed the tourist-friendly grounds for a while, up and down the ramps and stairs to the visitor center, and out and back from the Glacier viewing areas. The day was overcast but it wasn’t raining, so it was a better day to shoot than our earlier attempt and we would get these pictures with Robbie. We also learned our little guy just might be the adventurous type. At every turn he wanted to climb the surrounding rocks – big and small. I was so shocked and constantly pulling him off the rocks that I wasn’t able to get a picture. He didn’t even care when he got a little wet and muddy. At one point his socks got wet, and you could see him processing the first-time sensation of falling into a small puddle and getting soggy feet, but it didn’t slow him down.
