Day Hike to Godlin RiverDay hike to the Godlin River. Trail is rough and wet. A bit buggy in the brushy sections. Takes about 2 hours. Fish the Godlin River.
Catch a few grayling. Saw a one-wheeled trolley device that only made it as far as the Godlin River. Steve tried using a piece of bloody caribou meat
to entice the trout. Tried the Sam McGee fly that John designed. Drinking port in our cabin with a bug coil going, gentle rain is falling on the
roof – this is living!

On the hike to the Godlin river we stopped for a group photo with upper Godlin lake in the background. On this lake was a nesting pair of tundra swans with a baby cygnet. |
