Talkeetna/flightseeing pics

[glacier_kitty]

Steam coming off the Nenana River. It was so cool cause driving down the highway you could see the steam in the distance and know where the river was (that happens cause the water is warmer than the air temperature)



The bridge makes it hard to take pics :P







That's Laurie's car haha





Shiny Nenana River



Ummm..I can't remember this river's nameee..the Susitna maybe?

This one may the Chulitna River. NOT CONFUSING AT ALL

A building in downtown Talkeetna

O______O GROSS (this wasn't even the whole burger!)

Cool mountaineering pics and stuff on the walls. The cat "mayor" of Talkeetna hangs out at that restaurant but I didn't see him

Mom trying to act sophisticated haha (she said that's the best wine she's ever had!)

lol..my turn :P



McKinley has come out to amaze everyone! FLIGHTSEEING TIME

WE ARE GOING OVER THEREE

The Talkeetna River

The Talkeetna Mountains..not very creative with names are we? lol

The Alaska Range stretching into the distance

The terminus of Ruth Glacier :D

Glacially carved landscape



I think that's Tokositna Glacier





Mt. Foraker

Interesting looking mountain..



Yum







Eldridge Glacier..the pilot said the glacier was two miles wide here!

















Foraker super close











I think the pilot said one of the mountaineering camps was here..so cool that he pointed them out!







The Wickersham Wall: a 14,000 foot continuous vertical rise of rock and ice

Windy up there

















Wouldn't be a good summit day







Awesome texture





It looks delicious





Tokositna is a surging glacier! You can tell from its contorted moraines





It looks like ice cream melted all over it haha





















You probably can't see it in the pic but the Ruth Mountain House is in this pic. You can stay there for $100 a night! Best hotel EVER





Ruth Glacier and the Great Gorge. It's deeper than the Grand Canyon!





















In the summer there are waterfalls here!

Moraines



























The end of the Tokositna Glacier and the beginning of the Tokositna River



The Talkeetna River and McKinley and co.



Me and Laurie



McKinley from an overlook on the highway

Nice sunset

McKinley in the sunset

It's snowinggg. it was all shiny on the ground haha

Would you rather drink water from a vase containing two week old dead flowers or eat a giant three foot by three foot spiderweb? The water

Holy crow, you got some AWESOME photographs! Wow. I can't believe how clear the day was, and you're right, some of the snow really did look like ice cream haha. You got fantastic photos of the glaciers and the mountains... That looked like a SUPER fun day. I really like the picture of you and your mom outside of the plane too haha.

Lol, you didn't break my computer, it's all good ;)
