Chugach State Park then Talkeetna & Mt McKinley

Spent Sunday morning hiking in Chugach State Park up to Flat Top and around. George and Wendy decided to "take the hill". Hal went around. Thought we lost him in the clouds, so re-learned the age-old maxim of never splitting up again. We had brought the Bear Spray though!

Then drove to Talkeetna and hired www.K2@aviation.com to fly us for nearly 2 hours as far up to Mt McKinley as possible. Cloud cover obscured the summit, but we got to see a lot of glaciers and terrain up close as we tried various approaches.

Our route of flight.
Talkeetna State Airport.

How would you like to live on this ideallic island in the middle of this pristine lake in Alaska?






This is how close we were to the tops of some mountains . . . 50ft






And then for some well earned "Mountain High Pizza" dinner in Talkeetna afterward. George paid!
