Hand Tram

Alaska is seriously one of the most amazing places on earth! We have mountains, wild animals in our back yards, crazy combat fishing, and beautiful almost unworldly forests and waterfalls. Don't believe me? Take a look at these pics from a hike we went on a few weekends ago.

Location: Girdwood, Alaska

This is the Hand Tram. Some one has to pull you across or if you're like us, you pull yourselves across.

Crossing over the river. I have no idea how high up we were.

Gorgeous!

This place reminds me of The Lord of The Rings, so beautiful and almost unbelievable.

Our Bike Ride

Eli getting his bike ready to go. We had to buy new pedals and arm shafts at REI to get his bike to work. :)

Biking along the Glenn. Loving the beautiful weather!

We stopped at Fred Meyer's for some drinks.
Then stopped at this cute little stream for a break.



This is one of the cutest bridges here.


And then we saw a moose on our street. Poor thing was limping and was pretty spooked.
I was in a hurry to get this picture before he ran off, but it turned out kinda cool.
Our short little ride turned out to be an hour and a half long and who knows how many miles! But it was definitely worth it. We'll sleep well tonight! :) And I got some sunburn on my shoulders and chest...... oh well.
