Koniag Annual Meeting. We had an artist table. After that we
went up the Matanuska Valley (92 miles) to the Matanuska Glacier.
Sunday we went down Turnagain Arm, going through the tunnel to
Whittier and then back to Turnagain Arm to see the Bore Tide.
We also took a gondola up the mountain into the snow at Girdwood.
We watched the paragliders. What indescribable beauty and wonders
we experienced. Here are just a few of our pictures.
Muskox farm was closed.
So we will have to come back.
Nice place to visit. Here you may stay.
Mountains of Divinity.
At last we meet the Glacier – Face to Face
Nice clean pools for a quick jump in ‘n out.
Waiting for the noise of any movement.
End of the Trail, on solid ice.
This is just beyond the trail limit allowed.
Truly, you have to watch your step.
It looks like a big mouth ready to swallow you.
I wish to get close enough to touch.
But it is getting dark out here and dangerous.
Just thinking about taking this errata home.
Boats anchored in the outflow of Turnagain Arm.
Divers were laying cable across the bay.
Long before the Bore Tide comes.
Big Horn sheep (white spots) w/o fear of falling.
Doug spotted a dog in the mountains.
Waiting to go into the tunnel to Whittier.
In the tunnel. Notice the rail road tracks.
Nice way to use tree trunks at the hotel.
Cruise ship dock out side of hotel/restaurant.
Hotel looks abandoned as we leave.
Looking for the ‘Tide’ at Bird Point on Turnagain Arm.
First sight of Bore Tide looks tame.
The sound of it was scary.
We did not know what was coming.
Total reversal of flow! Amazing sights!
On the mountain at Girdwood.
Turnagain Arm in the background.
This guy found a ‘sweet spot’ in the valley.
He just hung there for a long, long time.
Earlier we saw a moose and scared ‘m off.
This one actually posed for us.
We saw the green ‘flash dot’ sunset.
Close to Beluga Point on Turnagain Arm.
Looking the other way, at Potters Marsh,
a full moon was on the rise.
