| Bud's, the only game in town |
Today we went back to Glacier National Park for a picnic lunch. Mount Fairweather and the whole Fairweather chain were beautifully visible in the distance. They are so covered in snow that they are bluish white. One of the rangers told us that they see Mt. Fairweather about twice a summer, it has been visible both days we have been there.
We are still in what would be considered rain forest with lush woods along the road to and in the park. There is so much moisture, the trees have moss hanging off of them and blanketing their roots (see photo).
We rented a car here in Gustavus from Bud’s Rent-A-Car. The first vehicle was a behemoth that neither of us could easily mount. We traded up for a Bravada, both of them have well over 200,000 miles. I gassed up the car tonight at the quaintest Mobil station I have ever seen.
I have developed allergies (I hope) to something here…we are surrounded by blooming things I have never seen before. Hopefully tomorrow in Anchorage I will be better off. We have one night in Anchorage and then we board the train to Denali. So far, everything about Alaska has exceeded our expectations.
