North to Alaska


In June, my friend Kathy and I embarked on a 6 day walking trip around Alaska's Kenai Peninsula with Country Walkers, one of my two favorite walking companies, along with The Wayfarers. Alaska was cold and magnificent. (Did I mention "cold?") I can't wait to go back.

Admiring Exit Glacier        Surely the world's most breathtaking boat harbor
 
 
Nighttime (yes, really) cruise of Resurrection Bay        My dirty hiking boot and fresh grizzly bear track
 
 
Our guides instruct us in correct method for frightening away grizzlies. I was unconvinced.        Ptarmigan Lake
 
 
I dare my hiking buddy Kathy to dip her toes into frigid Kenai Lake, and she actually does it!        Cooper Landing—view from hotel's rear porch
