Portage Pass Trail & Whittier


Finally captured Wilson's shoulder cuddles in the car

Swimming moose (of course the telephoto wasn't on)

glacier


The tunnel entrance... we had to wait about 40 minutes on the way through, enough time for a game of Farkle

And some front seat cuddles from Wilson

Mountain side waterfalls
And we made it through the 2.5mi tunnel to Whittier

Headed out!

The first part of the trail was a straight climb

The first glimpse of our destination

Swimmin' dog

We had views of the glacier the entire way along the mountain side

With a helicopter

The picture doesn't go justice to how steep the rocky mountainside was that Cody made me slide down... but he enjoyed going 'off trail'
My favorite picture

Hard to capture just how large it was (had to switch to the regular lens)

Family picture with the remote
They paid how much to see what we saw?! But at least they waved to us (we might have been the only 'wildlife' they saw!

While snapping photo after photo, "I like taking pictures" -Cody

Wearing my newly-acquired t-shirt from HUA

One of the last glacier views

That's an understatement

Stick dog

View of the Whittier Bay and Prince William Sound

_______berry
Waiting for our cod sandwich and clam chowder at Cafe Orca (it was very delicious)

Harbor view


Our tiny lunch 'shack'

And I spotted a penny press!!



We only waited about 3 minutes for the tunnel on the way back

Laughing at me because I stepped toward him instead of zooming in because my hands were full

Wader time

Bird Creek

Of course, telephoto wasn't on
Cody's first salmon (although it was a chum)

Caillat was happy to have stinky Wilson home again
