Our Alaska Trip - Sep 2008

Our Trip to Alaska to check out the potential Vice President's state. It was an amazing place. I fell in love with hiking and the nature is just beautiful. Don't take a cruise....visit this place and hike around. It is breath taking. We had an amazing time, especially meeting Jana's friends, Edko, Zuzka, Edko's brother Robert and Zuzka #2.

It was freezing cold, windy and raining hard! But can you see the glacier in the back???
Obviously she is used to the cold, rain and wind...check out my picture for us "Tropical" people!
One of the mountains in the Denali Mountain range. It was next to Denali Mountain(aka Mt. McKinley). By the way, we were at least 60 miles away when I took this picture. Wonders of Zoom lens!

More of the range. Denali Mountain(the highest in North America, is to the left of this picture. It was covered in clouds so we couldn't see it.)

Here is a Grizzly Bear that once roamed Alaska. See those arms? It is over 10 feet tall. You don't want to come between this one and the baby. They can run up to 30 mph!!!! Now that is speed.
