Destination Now Known
Saturday we went for a drive, my wife was driving, I did not know what the destination was until we were almost there. I did get to take a lot of pictures along the way, and have a few post highlighting some of the drive. When we passed summit pass and started on the downhill slide I thought I knew, but with a lot of areas to go and take pictures of I was unsure until we pulled into the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. If you visit Alaska a must see stop.
On with the walk, and it was a long one, not a five minute one, more like a few hours, so much stuff to take pictures of. First up, and I think it is because they know that when people come to Alaska they want to see it, is the moose. He has a nice little area and there is a little house thing for people to go and take pictures of him from inside and get a pretty good shot. I thought this one came out pretty nice and it was from on the walkway area.
Up next a Muskox and a few signs describing them. I did not reduce the sign to much and I hope they are still readable if you view the full sized picture. Here is the first one a lone Muskox just wandering close so people could get a picture of it I think.
Story sign
Ice-age Relic sign
Just past the signs the area opens up again so that you can get some pictures. I thought this was a nice view of them seemingly out in the wild. If you can ignore the fence.
Time for a break
I had to take a little break, but found a nice rock, to sit on and enjoy some water while looking at this view. This was only part of the walk, but I think enough pictures for now.
