Portage Glacier

SAMSUNG            SAMSUNG            SAMSUNG            My favorite event of the vacation portion of our Alaska trip was our journey to see the Portage glacier and cruise around Portage lake. The drive down from Anchorage to the lake was gorgeous and the glacier and surrounding scenery was just breathtaking. It was a beautiful day, even though Joyce got cold enough to go below in the boat and do some of her glacier watching through a window. We took a lot of pictures so I think I will break this into two posts. 

 

The scenery on the way from Anchorage to the lake was amazing. These pictures were taken from the side of the highway on the way there.

We enjoyed seeing the mountains with snow on them while we enjoyed temperatures in the 70’s

There were waterfalls everywhere

There were several little icebergs floating in the lake
