We all took it easy again this morning and after lunch headed to the train station. Our train coming to pick up up (yes, we were on the first car in the observation deck :-)):
Some sights along the way:
Our stop:
Our guide:
The ranger was great. As we walked, he told us about what happens after the glacier recedes and forest succession. This is a glacial river:
The building in the picture house a gun used to trigger avalanches – there are a number in this valley:
Check out the plane:
And we arrive at Spencer Glacier – how about this for a WOW factor:
All of us:
Check out these icebergs (you will notice people rafting and kayaking – it will give you an idea of how HUGE this ice is):
It was amazing!!! The round trip from the train was about 3 miles in some spectacular scenery with a great return trip on the train. WOW!
Back home, we made supper and enjoyed another campfire with Bill and Shelly – what a wonderful day!!
