Alaska Part I

Here are the first couple pictures from our trip to Alaska.

The first one is a little hide and seek, but not very hard. On our biking trip to Sable Pass in Denali National Park, we were greeted by these funny little ptarmigans along the road. The males had funny little orange eyebrows that made it easy to spot them, once they made some noise.



Below are some moose. We saw lots. We saw one or two a little closer than we wanted, but for the most part we were able to enjoy and laugh at them.
Evidently - according to our trusty guide - it is rare to see a mom with two calves that have survived. One of these two could have a difficult time later because it did not want to get it's feet wet and jumped over the little stream that they were feeding by.



Alright, I give you one landscape picture. This was our last night in Anchorage at about 1100 at night. Yes, the sun is still up.
