First up was a day hike at Tonsina Creek in Seward with Beate and her dog, Daisy. We took along Ann's dog, Nellie, too!
The way there is through some thick trees, and finally when getting to the water, everything opens up.
This is what it looks like from where we came...
...and the view we had ahead...

Some spawning chum salmon in the water:
Part of the way, the rainforest comes out in full bloom:

Shiway, Beate, and Daisy...and Nellie being a bit shy. :)
