Some pretty places we are seeing...

They have a special big mac here...read on the car.

The flower gardens are beautiful!
This was in Denali Park we rode for 8 hours into the park on a bus. We saw wildlife, but nothing compares to all we see at home!!
This cabbage was 18 inches across. the prize winning one at the fair weighed 88 lbs and won $2000! Having lots of daylight makes a difference. Palmer, AK.

This was taken out of the window of a moving bus. the leaves are really yellow here, some are falling off already.



That is Mt Mckinley in the background...the tallest mtn in the USA. We were talking to a woman who had only seen it 4 times in 32 years...she lived 120 miles away. Sounds like we were lucky.

It looks like you are having some nice weather for sight-seeing. Hope the sunshiney days keep up. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the beautiful scenery - it is nice to have an idea what you are seeing on your trip. We are having pretty days here in Wyoming, too. Karen F.

Been wondering where you've been. Glad to see you are having a great time on vacation. Alaska is someplace Dan & I want to visit someday. Thanks for showing off your photos.

Great pictures...Grandpa & I stood in exactly the same spot as you and George (on that deck) about 3 weeks ago. We had clear skies and a perfect view of Mt. McKinley as well (3 days in a row, in fact)! Happy travels :)
