I went on a
photography-oriented RV trip with J and his family. We roamed Alaska from Juneau to Fairbanks.
Juneau
Not much here. Lots of bald eagles and some tourist traps for the cruise ships.
Skagway to Fairbanks
Lots of driving, dense forest, mosquitos.
Denali
Denali - mountain and park - were very impressive. Would be a great place to go backpacking.
Anchorage
Anchorage doesn't have much. There's some foul-smelling mud when the tide goes out.
Kenai, Exit Glacier
Kenai was the highlight of the trip. The weather was great and we checked out all the perspectives of a glacier - from the endless ice field above to calving in the bay. J and I ran into a bear on one of the hikes. We survived thanks to talking to it in a calm voice.
I borrowed a macro lens for the northernmost rainforest in (America? Western hemisphere?).

Now that was a hike! Big 4 Ice Caves - Cats and Trails and Garden Tales
Never was there such a payoff for such a short hike, 2.2 miles round trip! A drive north on the Mountain Loop Highway brought us to Big 4 Mountain, known mostly for its (dangerous) ice caves. I remember hiking to those caves once on a very, rainy day, sometime in the last century, but totally...
