michsnowfreak Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Alaskas beauty was incredible. Highly recommend a visit. They had a very harsh winter so there was still lots of snow left on the higher mountains and I got to enjoy multiple feet drifts haha. Also saw a massive glacier up close. What a way to run summer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
