Today was the last day we spent in Anchorage. We made an early morning Wallmart and REI run to gather up supplies for our trip to Denali tomorrow. We'll be spending three nights out in the wilderness so we wanted everyone to be fully prepared. I picked up a rain jacket and a new water bottle with a carabiner. After shopping we went for a bike ride down the Coastal Trail. It was beautiful weather: around 60 o and the sun was shining! We rode about seven miles round trip. The air was clear and the wind was blowing, it was fantastic!
After the bike ride we took another trip to the Native Alaskan Heritage Center and got to pet sled dog puppies!! We even got to go on a "sled" ride. The sled had wheels on it since there isn't any snow on the ground this time of year. The puppies were freaking adorable and the adult dogs were cute too. They had fourteen dogs harnessed that pulled us today.
Overall it was a fantastic day. Kind of low key, compared to climbing Flattop, but really enjoyable for our last day in Anchorage.
Puppies! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI am a little jealous of the bike riding opportunity. Hope the trip to Denali is awesome. We watched Nature on PBS tonight and it was about the Bears in Anchorage so we got to see some pretty Anchorage scenery. Be Safe-Barry
I thought you would be! After I dismounted, my prof asked if I had gone to the "Lance Armstrong School for Biking" :]
