Turnigain Arm_Alyeska_Portage

Turnigain Arm-Drive to Girdwood/Aleyeska (less than 40 Miles South of Anchorage) *click to enlarge

Below is a picture of our first Mountain goat we saw along the drive. It was a baby (baby in picture) with its mom (look closely!)
Hike to Hand Tram from Aleyeska ski area



Snow angel!
We arrived at the hand tram only to find out it was out of service!! Dang it! We will be back during the summer to try again.


Portage Glacier/Portage Lake- Glacier is at end of lake, receded a lot in last century!

Hiked out to the Byron Glacier seen below


Hope all is well! Thanks for blogging with us!
Happy Days
