This past weekend, Scott and I went camping with our friends Kendra and Goat. We camped at the Matanuska Glacier State Recreation Site, and hiked around the nearby glacier for awhile.
The whole trip was just wonderful and hanging out with Kendra and Goat was a lot of fun!! They are a real hoot!
The hike around the glacier was amazing - I've never experienced something like that. We took a bunch of photos and took in the stunning scenery.
The drive to the campsite was two hours north of Anchorage, on a road I hadn't traveled more than 45 minutes on. So all the scenery along the way was new to me and quite possibly the most scenic I have seen in all of Alaska so far. It was literally stunning!
This slideshow starts out with a couple of pictures of the drive and then on to the glacier hike.
Temperature update: 56 degrees and mostly sunny in Anchorage; 63 degrees and mostly sunny in Whitman.
Sunrise/set update: 4:27a/11:33p in Anchorage; 5:08a/8:18p in Whitman.
