(Alaska) Route on 07/10/2015; 12 km; +700 -700; 6 hours. Excursion organized with the following itinerary: Crow Pass Trail, Barnes Mines, Crystal Lake, Crow Pass, Raven Glacier. Output type: round trip to the same point; Difficulty: easy.

He mapped some of the Aleutian Islands and is considered the first European to reach the northwestern American coast. Some promontories, as well as an underwater mountain, bear its name. The merchants were installing from 1740 until the 1780s.

Today is a day with sunshine, but the shadow of the trees on the way, which goes up bundling, goes well. Following the notes of history, we can add that in 1784 the first clergymen and missionaries were introduced ...
