Turngain Arm area



We spent a few days at the Williwaw USFS Campground just west of Whittier.  Beautiful area just below Middle Glacier.  While there we took an aerial tram to get great views of the area.  Then we visited the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where they take in wild animals who need special treatment and hopefully be returned to the wild or if unable they find a new home there.  They currently are trying to reintroduce wood bison back into the wilds of Alaska. I took lots of pictures of the animals there...here are just a few.
Then we took a ride on the M/V Ptarmigan to see the Portage Glacier. We all had a great time watching the glacier drop hugh sections of ice into the lake. 
 
Today we moved south to Kenai.  We are going to take a float plane to Katmai National Park/ Brooks Falls to see the grizzlies catching salmon.  Hope to have lots of great pics to post.  We are having a great time!
