A cold January day for hiking, but I hadn't been on any trails in several weeks, so this sure felt good. Three members of our Friday hiking club started out at the North Bivouac Trail parking lot not far from the Chugach mountains next to Anchorag...

Ch-ch-chilly on this hike until we got warmed up enough to take gloves off. The leaves have fallen off the trees so we could see through to the inlet most of the way. No moose or bears, but we did see one of the nicest piles of bear scat I've seen...

What a week for fireweed! This spring and early summer was warm and sunny, which must be just right for this wildflower. Fireweed got its name because it's the first flower to appear after forest fires. I hiked with my group into Summit Pass, a hi...

Who would have thought of going to hike in a valley that's covered in clouds? But it was a beautiful time to hike, when we could concentrate on the wildflowers around us instead of the mountainsides. Check out my slideshow in the eons Hiking group...
Knik River walk

My group hiked a 5.5 mile roundtrip to the Knik riverbank to see the Knik Glacier in the valley north of Anchorage. An airboat met us, and some, though not I, got to ride up close to the glacier and among icebergs. Lots of wildflowers, and the wea...
