Winter offers the opportunity to walk or ride across Spencer Lake and visit the glacier up close. We endured an hours long blizzard to get here but it paid off when the storm magically disappeared.

Fisher!!!

Fisher is the greatest dog ever. Here he is getting in the way right as i was about to take a photo of the moon over the Alaska Range. He always waits until everything is ready then delivers a photo bomb.

Mountain Storm

In the fall you never know what kind of precipitation a storm will dump, but you can bet it will be cold and uncomfortable. This one dropped it all, found out shortly after i took this picture.

Northwestern Glacier (from below)

The size of glaciers can be very hard to get across in a photo. I hope the spruce trees here that are far closer than the ice give an idea of scale.

Granite Terraces

High up in the Talkeetna Mountains above Snowbird Glacier recent melting has divided the glacier into separate pieces and exposed terraced steps of granite. These "new" areas of land are extremely unstable as rocks and boulders have been very gently placed on top of each other from slowly melting ice. You must always be prepared for your footing to collapse or shift.
