Scenes From a Morning Drive

Looking southwest from the Glen Alps trailhead, with the Aleutian Mtns on the far horizon

Looking northwest, toward the Alaska Range. Mt. Foraker, Mt. Hunter, and Denali (Mt. McKinley) from left to right, visible at the center.

The southern end of the Tordrillo Mtns, with Mt. Spurr (active volcano) having the highest peak. These are about 75 miles due west of Anchorage.

A wider shot of the southwest view

Driving back down the mountainside, overlooking Anchorage, Cook Inlet, and part of Mt. Susitna visible across the water some 40 miles to the west.

Looking due north from the trailhead

The park ranger station and restrooms at the trailhead for Glen Alps, Flattop Mountain, and the Powerline Pass
