Alaska is Just 15 Minutes from Anchorage

[thør]

My back yard. Well, not really my back yard, but close enough. It's just a 20 minute drive from home to the trailhead. The last time I was where these hikers are, the snow was about five feet deep.

Closer to home, this place is right up behind my house.

Why would anyone want to live anyplace else?

We don't need trails though the trees to run sleds on.

Are those pics taken by you? Post more by all means. I just loved Kitimat and it's surroundings...to me that's Alaska enough

But, it's not Alaska at all.

Occasionally I post my stuff, but otherwise, I grab stuff I see.

It's Canada and they have pine trees in Canada. No pine trees here. And no VAT.

Then I have to say....
Sorry, but Canada wins

Ski Only In Winter?

I'm sorry, but if we want to ski on weeds, rocks, and mud---we're going to do it anyway!

Is that a polar bear skiing? You guys are hardcore. No way you'd catch me on a slope with a polar bear. I mean unless he was really really good and was giving fee tips.

Oh, nice thread btw. I like nature pics. I've never been to Alaska and really would like to go sometime. My younger brother went several years ago and loved it.

Go before you get old. It's not a kind place for old people.

Too late.

Perhaps Kitimat, B.C. might be a better stop.

Maybe I'll just make Alaska the last stop on the bucket list tour so if it kills me, no big deal.

It'll prolly kill me someday. And, I still got touring to do.

Remember when it used to snow there?

Those were the good old days.

When are you going to build a wall to keep the Canadians out?
