Our Life in Alaska and Beyond

Sunday morning we got up and went off to explore the park. We first drove to the end of the road and walked across the foot bridge, and then from there we took a five mile shuttle ride to Kennecott Mine. We first hiked to Root Glacier, and then explored the mine a bit more on the way back. (I'll do a separate post for the mine.) On the hike we were able to walk on the glacier, which was really cool! The girls were the best little hikers too! And the weather was beautiful and sunny! It was a little cold first thing in the morning, but it warmed up later in the day. The whole hike was about five miles and the girls did great!
