Oktoberfest at Aleyska Resort in Girdwood
intersection of Folker and Tudor
Sleeping Lady gets a blanket
Termination Dust and autumnal colors
from Kincaid rooftop - Chugach Mountains with tell-tale signs of winter approaching (Oct 4)
even the little plants fighting for life in a post-glacial world were turning colors
mix of rocks and ice
time to head back
back at the beginning - looking over what we accomplished
face of the glacier - caverns
stream coming out of the glacier
the stream led back into another part of the glacier
heading back on the trail
face of the glacier - shaped by running water
many levels and layers
face of the glacier - peep hole
we took advantage of the sunny day
great hike
fall colors
view from where we stopped to get some ice
we jumped over this crack - reminding us we were on a glacier
the rocks were on the ice
Jason prepping for a rock climb
waterfalls
chipping at some glacier ice
looking back again
now Jason is in the lower right - still moving forward
I was there too - that's my shoe in the snow
Jason was racing back to the car so the ice doesn't melt
looking back at Portage Lake and the climb so far
break in the glacier - river runs through it
nice day to be out and about
soaking up the vitamin D
still going - he wanted to get to the good, blue glacier ice
