We started with another Carriage House delicious breakfast and talked about the hippies in Girdwood. We have seen many in campers parked on layy-bys and parking lots, but one today was building a wooden chair out of Game of Thrones!
Tracks. We saw evidence of bear and a fox and ungulates in the mud. In addition to what we thought were bear tracks, we also saw flipped over rocks.
After breakfast, we all piled in the cars and went to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where we saw musk oxen (reintroduced from Greenland), wood bison (currently being introduced, and larger than plains bison), elk, caribou, black and brown bears, Sitka deer, porcupines, moose, wolves, foxes, coyotes, and a few other animals.
We went next to the Alyeska Resort and took the tram to the restaurants at the top and enjoyed the views. It ended with a snowball fight and rock-sledding.
This is where snow melt becomes a stream.
Finally, we took a hike on part of the Iditarod Trail
More tracking by the masters.
Somehow this ladder is part of the Iditarod?
Beaver dam
