Alaska 2010
5/27/2010
: After our flight to Anchorage, we rented a car to camp out for a couple of nights near the Portage glacier. The next day we tried to hike up to the top of the Exit Glacier in Kenai Fiords National Park. The trail to the glacier was too snowy to continue, but we did see a black bear and a moose.
