We woke up to rain, but it eventually stopped,but we started our hike up Milky Creek in the fog. We foolowed the creek till we came to a steep ravine.Then we headed across the muskeg toward MacDonald Mountain.
Milky Creek
The Backbone Mountains to the east came out of the clouds, but MacDonald Mountain and the rest of theBonnet Plume Range to the west remained enshrouded in the fog.
We spotted a single Arctic Poppy :
Eventually MacDonald Mountain poked out of the clouds.
and we found some actual partridgeberries (lingonberries), the berry of the day!
The muskeg was tough going, hummocky and soggy.
Tromping through the muskeg
Eventually we gave up and returned to camp to dry our socks out. The sun came out for a while, but it rained on and off all evening.
