On the Way to Alyeska: July 28


Linda: Drove to Alyeska Resort, just past Anchorage. Dustin has been wanting to see a moose and he was lucky enough to see five of them. One alone and two sets of a female with her calf.



We stopped along the way to see the Matanuska Glacier. It's a 4 mile wide glacier coming down through the mountains that is visible from the road. It looks like a river of ice but up close it actually towers over the trees, it's enormous!



We also wandered around downtown Anchorage, it is the first 'normal' sized town that we have seen since we left... uh... Washington I guess! Now we are staying at the resort for a few days to take a break and do some sightseeing.
