Today was a wildlife, hiking, eating day.We started off by taking the Windsong Lodge shuttle to Seward to have breakfast in the Harbor Cafe. It was fun.
We returned to the Windsong Lodge where we boarded the Celebrity bus. We drove to the Alaskan Wildlife Centre. Although it was raining, we thoroughly enjoyed seeing the bears, the caribou, the muskox, the eagle, the moose and the other animals. It was very exciting. We couldn't wait to jump off the bus to see each animal. The mud and rain were not a deterrent at all.
We stopped at the concession for a short break. I had a reindeer hotdog! It was good.
We then drove a short way to the Alyeska Hotel. It is terrific. We took the cable car up the 2,300 feet to the top of the mountain. The views from the top were incredible. There were people snowboarding.
We came down the cable car, but persuaded the operator to allow us a second up and down ride. Fun!
When we got to the bottom, we went on an hour hike through the forest. We hiked the Winner Creek trail. We did not make it to the end because we were meeting people for dinner.
We took the hotel shuttle to downtown Girdwood. We ate e delicious dinner at Maxines Bistro. The band arrived as we were leaving. Go figger!
All-in-all a wonderful day!
