Pretty much sums up the trip!

 


We saw tons of Bison at the Wildlife Conservation Center


This was a building that wasn't destroyed (entirely) in the 1964 earthquake

 


These Elk are taking a nap.  Their antlers are covered in velvet at this time of year

 


Apparently, this one didn't know it was nap time!

 


Somebody needs a haircut and style!

 


Grayson by the forest of dead trees.  The trees died when the ground sank 10 feet

during the earthquake and the roots were saturated with salt water. 

They now provide a habitat to various Alaskan birds.

 


The coyote was on the move

 


Hugo was so lovable - he was rescued by two guys on snowmobile and now lives permanently at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center


Which bear skull looks the scariest?

 


Darby, Grayson, and Jonna loved the baby elk

 


 

This black bear was very playful - these bears were also rescued


Jonna at Bird Point on Turnagain Arm


The view down Seward Highway from Bird POint - See our RV in the parking lot?


Grayson hiked around Bird Point with Jonna - our last taste of

Alaskan wilderness before heading to the airport!
