May 26 - June 7

Jeff and I got our first glimpse of Alaska's vastness by climbing Flattop Mountain.

Seward
In Seward, we camped on the waterfront of Resurrection Bay.
A fjord is long, narrow, and deep and leads out into the ocean.
Cruise ships frequently stop in Seward.
We spent a day on the ocean aboard the Kenai Star.
A Fjords Ranger told us about the history of the area, showed us glaciers, and pointed out wildlife.

Carlo Creek campground. We liked it so much, we stayed three nights.
There is an excellent restaurant (McKinley Creekside Cafe) a short walk away.

We got a tip about a cabin by a lake out on the tundra. We spent the afternoon hiking out to it.
