climb up snow or rocks? we did both
sunny day - yes, Jason was fine in shorts
end of glacier in one spot
pretty vast when you look at Jason in the lower left corner
first look back - we just walked over that snow
this glacier had a lot of rocks on top and soil in some places
we hiked ON the glacier - we had a ways to go
we got to the face of the glacier, but Jason wanted good blue ice...so this was the beginning
great easy trail up to face of glacier
Byron Glacier Trailhead - supposed to be a mile in and a mile out -we took a longer trip
quick stop at Portage Lake - we were here 6 years ago - that glacier in teh distance is Robert Burns glacier
love this hwy
lots of yellows and more oranges and reds this time
another day on the Seward Hwy - started foggy, but brightened up quickly
Sleeping Lady with city lights - on our way back down the mountain
the sun sets further to the south every night - it's been fun to track (oh and sunset is around 9pm now)
interesting shot
The Moon - I'm playing with my camera settings - still need practice
Sleeping Lady - Mt. Susitna - across Cook Inlet from Anchorage
you can see the city lights under the layer of fog - that's Denali, Foraker, and Spurr (at least wikipedia told me that)
we were surprised at how well we could see Denali (we could see snow cover with binoculars) - great colors!
View of Denali from Blueberry Loop
Hello moon - cool affects show my lack of patience
We saw this moose on the way up to Flattop
fiery sunset
Great colors in an autumn sky
mountain to the south of Anchorage
bye bye sun
Jason and the sunset
we saw the moon up over a ridge and decided to chase it - hike up the mtn to Blueberry Trail at 9pm (not to summit of Flattop)
so, the neat thing was the fog that covered Anchorage - see it?
Flattop to the east at sunset
oh - we found the tree again
wow - so many crappy views in this state
following the trail
Chugach Mountains around Eagle River
more of a forested trail than we're used to, but it was pretty
Jason in the tree
beaver dam and pretty views
salmon - we think sockeye?
reading about beavers
soaking up more vitamin D today
fall colors
9/12 - on the way to Eagle River Nature Center (just north of Anchorage)
heading home
he let me have a sip too
mountains all around us
I think I got this same tree last week, but it's a little oranger now :)
leaving Chugach Natl Park- fun day in the sunshine
great views heading back north
