West Kennecott Glacier Trail
We started watching “Edge of Alaska” a few nights ago. Wow! Highly recommended if you are going to McCarthy or have visited there before. We actually got to see one of Neil Darish’s outbursts while we there but didn’t know that he was sort of famous at the time.

Ma Johnson’s Hotel (McCarthy, Alaska)
Built 100 years before this photo was taken, Ma Johnson’s Hotel is where we stayed last month for a night. Interesting, to say the least.
I’m currently reading Cold Mountain Path, a book I highly recommend BEFORE (or during) a trip to McCarthy or Cordova.
Alaskan dragonfly
This critter landed on our car after we put it on the ferry in Cordova and didn’t budge for seven hours until we disembarked in Whittier.

The trail itself, without the view, was a spectacular grove of mostly quaking aspen which I imagine are even more beautiful in September when the leaves change color.
