Chiswell Islands Archipelago

The Chiswell Islands are my favorite rocky islands in Alaska. Thousands of birds nest on the rocks, which were originally mountain peaks during the last ice age when sea level was hundreds of feet lower.

Beaver Dam Mountains

Sunlight rolls off the backs of the hills where cattle roam just about everywhere. The Beaver Dams can be a nice escape from the heat for certain times of the year. In the middle of summer, they are just about as hot as anywhere else.

Lost Lake Panorama

Lost Lake might be better named Hidden Lake, as it hides in plain site above the highway for miles. It's a beautiful lake and camping on the peninsulas, which are old terminal moraines, is idyllic.

Prehistoric Hidden Valley

This valley is halfway up the 50 mile long Nabesna Glacier but is somehow ice free for a few miles. That makes it one of the most remote valleys in North America. If you can walk here from the road, then you are in shape to go anywhere on the planet.

Insignificance Bestowed

It's impossible to describe the immense size of Denali. It's taller then Mt. Everest from bottom to top and also one of the most massive mountains on Earth. The foothills you see here would be regular sized mountains in most places on the continent.

Matanuska Panorama

The upper reaches of the Matanuska River meets the Matanuska Glacier. They can be thought of as different forks that meet to create the main river. Very nice fall day and fantastic view. The lowland forests on the right are possibly growing on old abandoned parts of the glacier buried under soil and rock.
