Alaska Summer Part IV

HIKING ALYESKA RESORT

The pictures are still amazing, even with the sun glaring right into the camera making for what a professional photographer would consider "absolutely horrendous lighting"

The weather stayed beautiful for our entire trip so we could only do what any sensible person would do and that was to lock ourselves inside. Haha J/K! Sleeping in a tent even seemed to take away from the must-be-outdoors addiction that one catches when in AK.
Lucky for me I grew up in the quaint little ski resort town called Girdwood, an epicenter for sports and adventure. It sits right on the tip of Cook Inlet, also known as the Pacific Ocean. This particular day Cody and I hiked Alyeska Resort, a very rewarding trek for the amazing views when you reach the top. I heart Alaska...

Can't help but feeling "buff" after a good hike up a mountain
