In 1996 Leann and I took a trip to visit her sister in Alaska. Little did we know at the time that this was the first of many trips up North. Turned out the farther North we went in the state, the more we liked it.
Leann on our first hike in Alaska, we were headed up Flat Top Mountain which is visible from Anchorage


Next stop was Matanuska Glacier

We are sure not in Ohio.


Another hiker was nice enough to take our picture

We drove to Seward and did a boat tour of Kenai Fjords, even included a fresh Salmon lunch



Sea lions stacked up like firewood

Goats! Look closely

I always liked this picture of Leann, love of my life

Next up was a long day hike in Chugach State Park



Weather was not cooperating



There was a nice hut where we could have lunch

Our love of Alaska is born.
HAPPY TRAILS, STEVE
