We hiked the Two Lakes Trail in Seward mostly because it was one of the few that was open and not completely covered with snow and/or ice. We were told to be on the look out for bears and moose. Unfortunately we did not see anything bigger than a squirrel.
Half way around the loop we came to a tall waterfall. This picture is just part of the whole, but the fall was a series of these smaller ones. It was definitely one of the coolest waterfalls that I have ever seen. If I had to guess, I would say that the entire fall was close to 200 feet tall.
This was our last sunset in Anchorage - and, actually, our first. We took a walk along the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail at about 1100 pm.
The last thing that we did before our flight to Fairbanks was to take a hike on the south side of the town. I am not sure the name of the trail, but it provide us with views of downtown Anchorage and the mountains beyond. We crossed over a small river with snow banks hanging over.
On our way back to the car, we heard a large rustling in the bushes around a turn in the trail. We were relieved to see that it was only two moose. However, being about 15 yards away from them was quite exciting.
OK, I'll leave our Alaska trip for a while. I'll share some pictures from around here.
