There was a collective sigh of relief as our group reached the Peterson Lake Trail parking lot. A few inches of crusty snow blanketed the area. It was then, if only for a moment, were we glad we brought our pulk, a low-slung toboggan that skiers or dogs can pull.
Winter had settled in Southeast Alaska. As frequent summer visitors to the area’s public use cabins, we had decided to book a stay at the recently remodeled Peterson Lake Cabin.
