We headed out this morning after a delicious breakfast at Fast Eddy's. We had about 320 miles to go to get to Anchorage and we were pretty excited to arrive. However this stretch of highway was definitely one of the most scenic on our whole trip. We were going through some massive mountain ranges and still on such a beautiful day.
The mountain in this picture is Mt. Stanford. It's one of Alaska's10 highest peaks at around 16,000 ft.
At a rest stop. Looks like the top of the world. Falcor is so awesome.
We finally saw a couple of moose!! We were cruising a long and I was gazing into the woods and I just shrieked "MOOSE!" It was pretty exciting.
Everywhere we looked was absolutely gorgeous.
This is the Matanuska Glacier. It's not too far from Anchorage and you can walk around on it so we'll definitely be going back to check it out.
We made it to Anchorage and our little studio apartment that we're renting for the next 5 weeks. It's very nice, in a little house in the Spenard area of town. There is a lot to see and do around us so we'll have a lot to check out and do while we're here. We are directly next door to the largest bar in Alaska, Chilkoot Charlie's, which we definitely visited last night, and definitely deserves its own post. We're hoping to bring a video camera in tonight so we can capture some of the magic.
Happy to be here!! Miss you all!
