Darby and Grayson at the Anchorage Museum of History and Art
It was good to get an overview of the history of the state before setting out.
2009 is 50th birthday of Alaska's statehood
Darby loved this painting of Mt. McKinley
Grayson, Darby, and Mark take a break
Darby, Mark, and Peter (owner) at the bike rental shop downtown
"Gold Diggers"
We conquered the most famous bike trail in Anchorage - the Tony Knowles
Along the trail
Scenery along the bike trail was beautiful of the Cook Inlet and
later the Knik Arm and Alaskan mountain range
We paused in Earthquake Park to learn more about the 9.2 quake that
devastated the area in 1964
Only a few feet from where they are posing is a sheer drop down to the water...

The paved bike trails are gorgeous in Anchorage
The kids pause for a rest on the return trip of the loop
