Traveling down Turnagain Arm again

Our next stop was Seward, AK.


A Hump?? Well, I guess it is... The name for a Rotary up there is a Round-About.




There's the train tracks we were on before. Beautiful sky.




Beautiful ride.








When your truck doesn't work anymore, just leave it there, and look what happens.




On the way to Seward, we stopped at Portage Glacier, which we couldn't see because it had retreated around the edge of a mountain. We watched a movie about glaciers. We could see Burns Glacier across the lake. We learned about ice worms here..they do live in the ice! They are very small. This area is part of the Chugach National Forest.


This is the Explorer Glacier. It is a hanging glacier.


Driving around Seward we found this waterfall.


On the other side of the road, the river drained into the ocean. See the fishermen?
