Have you ever woken up on a cold winter morning and went outside and had your breath taken away? This is the only way I can express my feeling when I woke this morning to the fresh snowfall on the mountain tops. It took our breathe away with it's beauty. The first set of pictures are what we woke up to. We were cold last night in the RV, thought we wouldn't need the heat. It actually snowed last night on the mountains around us. We just had heavy rain. When we woke the sun was stating to come out but it was cool.
After breakfast we set out for Matanuska Glacier. It was amazing! We had to walk about 40 minutes to the glacier. It was rocky. The Glacier was so cool to walk on. It was huge. The water from the glacier was a pretty blue color. On our drive into the glacier we saw a mother moose with her baby. So cute. Didn't get a good picture because we scared her away. We walked the glacier for about 3 hours.
We ate lunch and hit the road for Glen Allen. We saw some unbelievable mountain ranges. It is hard to believe how beautiful our country is. We ended our day at Wrangell St. Elias National Park, It's larger than Switzerland and its glacier is larger than Rhode Island. We went through the visitor center and watch a cool movie about the park.
We drove to the RV park. Have a nice site by a river. Lots of mosquitoes! Everyone is tired tonight. The girls have been very good . We have an eight hour drive tomorrow to Fairbanks and the North Pole. Hope you enjoy the picture.
p.s. We love reading your comments every morning!
