Decided to drive up to Denali State Park today on my last day. Had a decent view and the mountain even peeked out from behind the clouds on occasion. Hard to see it in these photos tho (but it's right smack in the middle). Stopped in the kooky town of Talkeetna, where a cat is Mayor. I didn't run into the Mayor while I was there, but I was also on the lookout for Mexican Moose...and didn't see any of them either.
...was amazing!! (need I say more, okay maybe I do because these pictures can't do it justice)
The sun sets around 10:30 at night, and rises at 4:00ish. These pictures are from about 10:00 pm one night on the boat.
Did a nice hike in the morning in Skagway, and then rode the scenic train to White Mtn Pass. Ended the evening with a monkey in our room!
Yay! It appears to be working (but I can't get my other drafts to post at the moment...)
So here are a few pics from the lovely state capital and the glacier nearby:
Since my APP doesn't appear to be working anymore, I'm just going to throw a few pics on here...
Arrived is Vancouver yesterday to catch our cruise boat to Alaska this afternoon. Spent the afternoon wandering around downtown. Walked by the art museum and saw this "gum head"...yes that's gum stuck to it and you could add your own! And then because we were up for torture, we hiked, or shall I say climbed, Grouse Grind (for those of you familiar with the infamous Grind, I'm not disclosing our time) The view was totally worth it though (my picture doesn't do it justice), and you could catch a gondala back down the mountain. Big thanks to our friend's brother and girlfriend for letting us crash at their place!
