We spent five great days in Anchorage. The weather was beautiful and sunny and there was lots to do. My favorite day was our hike to Flattop Mountain.
I was so excited to be able to go and off leash too!!
It was a lot farther up than I thought it would be. I stopped and waited for dad to catch up.
Then I went ahead with dad while mom took some breaks (caught her sitting down)
and up.....
This is the most visited mountain top in Alaska and I could see why, the views were incredible. The city and ocean in the distance
and the people below.
Our next stop was Seward, a beautiful harbor town with phenomenal access to both the mountains and the sea.
You won't see any pictures of me as I spent most of the time in the RV while mom and dad were out and about.
One day they took off for a ranger led hike to Exit Glacier in the Kenai Fjords National Park.
The next day they left me for 9+ hours ( yes, you heard me right - nine long hours of holding my legs together, I was darned if I was going to pee on those doggie diapers they put on the floor) while they took a Kenai Fjords National Park cruise, covering 130 miles of spectacular scenery, beautiful glaciers and terrific wildlife viewing.
The tour was narrated by a national park ranger and the boat followed the pristine coastline out of Seward's Resurrection Bay and into one of Alaska's national park jewels.
They were lucky to see so much wildlife. Many humpback whales putting on shows
sunning seal lions
frolicing sea otters
and adorable puffins
bottoms up!
Got up close to two beautiful glaciers, Aialik
The ranger said the glacier was really active today -- lots of calving, a process by which the glaciers shed giant blocks and slabs of ancient ice.
And one night dad went salmon fishing, check out their haul!! Do they look happy?
Adios,
Yuki
