National Parks--Alaska-conclusion

I love the contrast in landscape that was Alaska. I know lots of other places have this varied topography but never had I experienced it in a single state, mere hours apart. I've driven from forests to ocean and desert to lush valley but there is a feeling I can't quite describe when it comes to Alaska. To go from lush green to what feels like another planet really took my breath away.

This was taken in Denali.

And this in Kenai Fjords. Dont' let the snow fool you. It was actually warm in Kenai and I believe I even got a bit of a tan. The sun of Denali is misleading, every day was a chilly one, hat and gloves a must.
