ANCHORAGE, AK - - This week's escape was to Anchorage, 250 miles south on the Parks Highway. On our second day there we did a neat climb to the top of Flattop Mountain (3,510') in Chugach State Park. The park and surrounding trails are supposed to get the most use of any area in the state. Click on the shot to blow it up and you should see in the background Anchorage, Cook Inlet, Turnagain Arm and the Alaska Range.THE real trail is to the right, but we made our own trail up the valley visible from my left shoe. ... a crab-walk kind of climb of about 1,000' elevation gain on a 20% (+ -) slope. I'll let Lydia tell the story...as I was only following orders.
The shot below belongs to the "Signs you'll never in Florida" collection. In the background is a slightly different view of the areas described above.
And I'll bet you didn't go by or call Don Rosene's motorcycle dealership while in Anchorage.
