This summer has been notably
wet and not very warm in Southcentral Alaska.
However, we have had a few spots of sunshine throughout the summer, and
last week was one of them. Thursday
after work, Andrew and I headed up to the trailhead and parking lot of Mount
Baldy, in Eagle River to take some pictures.
It was in the mid-70s and we could see Denali (Mount McKinley from the highway)! By the time we got to the parking lot, it
became quite hazy, and we could not see the mountain anymore, however we still
had a great view! There were also about
five or six paragliders launching from the top of the mountain that passed us
as we were taking pictures.
