Day 10
We arrived in Alaska!
We saw another moose! What a picturesque spot to see one!
Here's a closer view.
We were looking forward to hiking the trails and staying in the campground at Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, but we were sad to find out that it wasn't open yet. It was raining so we didn't even get to hike the trails alongside the road. We did get to check out the view from the deck though. Hopefully on our way back thru in September, it'll be open.
We ended up staying at 3 Bears RV park in Tok for the night before
heading to Wrangell St Elias National Park in the morning.
Day 11
As we were coming up to Mentasta Lake, we just had to stop and
admire it's beauty. Never have I seen such a beautiful reflection in water!
There was still a good amount of ice on some parts of the lake.
Birding!
We arrived at Wrangell St Elias National Park in the late afternoon. At the Nebesna Road visitor center, we watched a movie about the park and the kids earned their Jr Ranger badges. The park is very large and the hike we wanted to do would require more time than we had. The volunteer graciously offered a spot for us to park for the night so we could hike first thing in the morning. Before bed we hiked to the river to check out the views.
