Ice, Ice Baby

DATELINE: Along the Glenn Highway, Alaska


It may be summer, but Alaska has ice! Stop 1 on our Great Alaskan Adventure was an hour north of Anchorage. The Matanuska Glacier dates back centuries.

Massive glaciers like this one carved 
these lands.  And after parking the car,
a mile long hike takes adventure seekers
to the base.

Visitors sign a waiver to climb all over the
glacier. 


In our shorts, we slid, climbed
and navigated with a special friend.

In his saddle bag, even Dexter went along
on the adventure! A group of Korean 
tourists saw the Yorkie at Sarah's side. 

"We just found him wandering," Scott
said. 

"We take him and give him good home,"
a concerned Korean mother said. 

"No, Dex has a good home," Scott quickly 
said before Dexter could leave our side
(he's safely in the back seat now as I write 
this).  


The water is pure (we hope).  Some 
people were bottling up it's chilly 
goodness. 



Then again... Adam said he 
wanted to pee on the glacier and burn
a hole in it. 

NEXT STOP: The Cabin.
