Last leg into Anchorage

Pictures from our last leg into Anchorage AK following the Glenn Highway through several mountain passes. Note the glaciers we passed and the steep mountain passes we flew through. Apart from a few showers and build-ups over the mountains, the weather was good and we had a great up close view of some great scenery.

The highlight of our arrival in Anchorage was the "above and beyond" service we got from Michelle at Ace Fuels at Merrill Field (the airport we flew into - see bottom pic).

Michelle gave us a ride to our hotel with a tour on the way, info on places to go and places to eat, and was just a wonderful help. By and large we've been well treated at the various airports in our travels but this one was top of the list.

  2. Hi Ken,

    I have no idea how long it would take to drive here but it could be a fun trip. We've met folks who are doing it and they seem to be enjoying it. I'd suggest a camper. Places to stay can be expensive, even in out of the way places.
