We had a beautiful drive today. Here is Matanuska Glacier with the Matanuska River below in the Chugash mountains. We followed the river for most of the morning. This view was from a 1 mile nature path. A good time to stretch our legs. Saw the mushroom along the way.
Nelchina Glacier in the Chugach mountains. This is from Eureka Summit, 3322 feet. Highest point on the Glenn Highway. We were driving in the river valleys that separate the Talkeetna mtns and the Chugach mtns. Lots of ups and downs today.
Sheep Mountain. It is colored by gypsum and iron oxide. The sheep eat the gypsum to replenish calcium in their diet, so the name of the mountain. We hoped to see the sheep but they were not to be seen today.
Beautiful!
