caption_attribution_description: English: I took these photos in August 2009 during a hike to Lost Lake. This is an excellent but long trail outside of Seward, Alaska. We did a traverse, starting on the north side and exiting from the south side. It was still about 15 miles long with a bit of a climb on the way in. The day started off rainy and gray but got a lot better as we kept climbing. One of the major benefits was all the ripe blueberries on the trail - and they were so sweet - just like me!
context_page_description: The Chugach National Forest is a 6,908,540-acre United States National Forest in south central Alaska. Covering portions of Prince William Sound, the Kenai Peninsula and the Copper River Delta, it was formed in 1907 from part of a larger forest reserve. The Chugach includes extensive shorelines, glaciers, forests and rivers, much of which is untouched by roads or trails. It hosts numerous bird, mammal and marine species, including extensive shorebird habitat and a bald eagle population larger than the contiguous 48 states combined. Human industry in the forest includes extensive tourism and some mining and oil and gas operations.
