It is a beautiful day. It stopped raining, the sun is out and we are ready for a fun day. To begin with, we took a two mile walk alongside Exit Glacier
Isn't it amazing to see these beautiful flowers next to
a Glacier? The air is quite cool because we are standing
next to ice yet no problem for the flowers.
The path is roped off so people don't attempt to walk on the ice as it could calf (break off) at any time.
Exit Glacier descends 2,700 feet over its 2 mile length.
We stopped off in a wooded area next to our campground looking for a brown bear that we saw the night before. Unfortunately, he wasn't there but we saw many Eagles looking for fish scraps that the bear left. This is exactly where we saw the bear.
To our disappointment, our l/2 day Salmon Fishing Trip was cancelled due to problems w/the boat. We went back to the campground and I caught up on e-mails, facebook, etc.; however, Bruce had another plan - to hike Marathon Mountain. They have a race here every 4th of July running up and down the mountain.
In this picture, he is half way up the mountain. You can see the town of Seward in the background. From what I heard, it was a very dangerous hike.
He is at the top looking down at the Inlet.
So high he is overlooking another glacier.
Needless to say, this sign didn't discourage Bruce.
This was my view from my desk in the RV.
Even though our day didn't go as planned, it turned out just fine. Anytime the sun is shining, it is a good day.
