A Late Spring Drive, in Pictures

From May, 2010:

Here are just a few photos from yesterday's drive to the south. (Click for the ooh, ahh factor.)



Heading east/southeast out of Anchorage, along the Turnagain Arm.






Halfway to Girdwood, near Bird Point.











Nearing Girdwood.










High in the Kenai Mountains.








Another view on the northbound trip.












 Looking north on the way back near Turnagain Pass.

"Late Spring"?!?

In the middle of September?

Do you guys even get a "summer" up there?

Looks cold....shudder....but pretty, very pretty.

Rev. Paul said...

NFO, that was in May, that year. It's normal for the snow to hang around, that high up.

Jim, it was in May. See above. :)

threecollie, the air was reasonably warm, even at altitude. It's just that the snow is pretty heavy, up in the mountains, and takes a long time to melt.
