Anchorage from the hotel room. About 10 pm Alaska time.
A view from the water's edge about 8 blocks from the hotel. The Alaska railroad runs along the water at the bottom of the photo.
Mt. Whitney taken from Highway 3 just north of Wasilla.
Taking off from Fish Lake on a floatplane tour of Mt. Whitney and the Denali National Forest.
Path carved by a long ago glacier. We could see occasional pools of bright blue glacier water in the ice beneath us. This photo was taken at about 6,500 ft.
Mt. Whitney at our peak altitude of 8,000 ft. We flew among the peaks, occasionally only a few hundred feet from sheer rock walls.
Seward Harbor as we prepared for a marine tour of Renaissance and Aialik Bays. The weather was perfect, and we got lucky, seeing otter, seals, whales, salmon, and puffins (a bird that lives solely in the water).
Holgate Glacier in Aialik Bay. The ship you can (maybe) see at the base of the glacier is the same size as our own tour boat.
