EXPLORING THE ALASKAN FRONTIER

Despite the unreliable nature of September in Alaska, I convinced my BFF to head north for a long weekend. We set out with a plan to explore Kenai Fjords National Park, but got more than we bargained for. We hiked on glaciers, saw them calving into the ocean, cruised next to pods of killer whales, and watched sea lions basking in the sun. We got up close and personal with moose and caribou at a nature preserve, and may have inadvertently provoked a young buffalo to see red.

And oh, the fall foliage! We hiked through forests of yellow aspen, stretching out their long limbs for miles and miles. The vast wilderness of Alaska was overwhelmingly beautiful and I can't wait to return.
