You know I did a little further fact checking, and you are right – I have mis-used that word for years! Thanks for the correction.

Just have to point out that technically alpenglow is the glow mountains give _after_ the sun has set. In other words, not from direct sunlight, like the image here. It's a common misconception and I'm fighting a (probably losing) battle to maintain the word's original meaning. Great images Ron.

Can't stop myself, and each is always somewhat different from the others, especially with the Alpenglow, which w e're lucky to enjoy in both places. There's something especially wonderful when its home welcoming you back.

Scott - right before this last trip I picked up my first 16 GB Sandisk Extreme card, I had been using 8 GB cards before - I really liked having the extra capacity, it took a long time to fill that puppy. I would go with the 16GB card - my future purchases will be that size or larger. Thanks!

What type of memory card do you use? I just got the Canon 5D Mark II, and at 21mp am not sure if I should go with the 8GB or 16GB. There's such a difference in price. I'm looking at Sandisk Extreme III since it is much more reasonably priced than then Extreme IV. Hey Ron,

Hi Dennis, Sounds like a great trip! Unless it is clear and the mountain is out, you may not want to ride all the way to Kantishna. That last stretch can be quite, and can make for a long day. But, be sure you go all the way to the Visitor Center. Then on the second day be sure to get off the bus and hike around a bit. You should have a blast! Ron Hi Carl,

What is ASL?
