Snowshoeing at Girdwood


We've had tons of snow, so Brandi and I decided to go snowshoeing at Girdwood. As you can see from the picture, it was a beautiful day. The temperatures were pretty mild, and we worked up a sweat hiking through the snow. We should have packed a picnic lunch! Getting out and doing things in the winter is how you survive Alaska winters. They are long, dark and cold. People who hate Alaska don't get out there. I love exploring around - because you realize how amazing this place is.
Brandi and I saw lots of moose on our hike. You don't want to get too close to them, or spook them - so we kept our distance, and changed course. After a few hours of hiking, we decided to call it a day and grab some pizza at a local restaurant.
