You really capture the brilliance of the sunrise. You can feel the morning air as much as visualize the flowers and life on these mountains waking up under the shine. Thank you! KyungMee.

Hope you had a great trip! We probably won't hit Death Valley on this one, but I would love to return there one day - I agree it is beautiful. I also agree, Alaska is my favorite as well! Hi Nina.

Yeah, it was really hard to leave, and the weather the last weekend didn't help at all. But, it is the only way to hit fall in CO. Have a great fall, I like forward to seeing what you get! Hi Swap. So glad to hear your trip went so well. The Harding Icefield is such a great hike - it is a tough one, I'm not surprised you are sore! Thanks for the trip report! Thanks Michael - it would be great to see you again - if not this fall, then maybe this winter. Ron Hi Calvin. Yeah, it was really hard to leave, and the weather the last weekend didn’t help at all.

As you had stated correctly (a couple of weeks ago in reply to my questions), the weather did not always follow the forecast and we were very lucky that it did not rain during the last 4 days of our trip (to the Kenai Peninsula). 1. We had excellent views of Mt. McKinley while driving from ANC to Denali NP. Not so lucky the next couple of days as rain washed out the ride to Wonder Lake. But the next day's outing to Eielson Visitor Center was great. The fall colors were at their peak and brilliant. Lots of wildlife along the road. Highlight was the hike up to Mt. Healy Overlook near the park entrance. 2. While in Seward, we took a cruise to Northwestern Fjord. Not much marine mammal sightings at this time of the year. Highlight was the hike to the Harding Icefield to the exact spots where you have captured those lovely images. Missed Mt. Marathon due to lack of time & aching muscles :-) We also had an overnight stay at Whittier where we took a boat cruise to Price William Sound (Blackstone Glacier). The weather was perfect on both these days with clear blue skies. On the way back to ANC, paid a visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Needless to say, we both fell in love with Alaska and cant wait to come back for more. Plans will be underway shortly for a trip to the South East part (Inside Passage) next fall including Tongass National Forest :-) Wish you and Janine a wonderful time in Rocky Mountain & Gunnison NP's. Hope you guys come back with some lovely fall images including those of the Aspen trees. Swap Hi Ron,

I hope from your comments that we may be getting a glimpse of Death Valley. That was one place i was really surprised by as it is so different to how I had imagined it to be. My husband & I are off this week ourselves to the Norfolk Broads --lots of birds and windmills!! However my favourite place is still Alaska and I'm still hopeful that one day I shall return.

The painting Niebruegge team, not the photo one. It is amazing what your mom can do with a bunch of spots. Beautiful work! I can't believe you are leaving Alaska this time of year! This weekends weather should be particularly good torture for you as you head out. Have a great trip anyway. Had a nice visit with the talented Niebruegge team yesterday.

Sounds great. I'm heading to Grand Tetons/Yellowstone for the first time tomorrow, so I'm excited about that. Your Yellowstone/Grand Teton photos are etched in my mind to help me with compositions.
