This was taken from the train when we took the Alaska Railroad from Whittier to Anchorage and looks out over Turnagain Arm while the tide was out. The trip was wonderful, relaxing and cool after a hot day of hiking, though I'm not sure other passengers appreciated our unwashed state.

This photo was taken from the train as we traveled from Whittier to Anchorage, most of the trip along Turnagain Arm. Though that beautiful arm of the sea is not visible in this photo, it was just beyond the trees in the photo and we were able to see the sunset over the arm.

After touring the Kenai Peninsula we returned to Whittier and traveled, as originally planned, from Whittier to Anchorage via the Alaska Railway, a wonderful trip. The evening was one of the nicest of the whole trip with perfect weather and gorgeous scenery. We were in an observation car and the train was air-conditioned and comfortable, a huge bonus after a hot and tiring day of hiking and before an all-night drive to Denali.

This photo was taken by my wife who got a much better shot of this beautiful bird than I did. The bird was photographed at Potter's Marsh, a wildlife refuge south of Anchorage. This bird has the longest migration route of any, up to 55,000 miles.
