Flattop Hike

After our day of relaxing, it was time for all of us to get out and get moving again the next day. We had a nice breakfast, enjoyed our coffee, and set out for the Glen Alps trailhead to Flattop (a popular hike for Anchorage residents and visitors alike). I had hiked there before, but Vince hadn't gone yet, and he was excited to go. The peak boasts a great view of Anchorage, so it would be cool for his mom to see as well.

A little info about the hike (taken from the trailhead)

Pretty good elevation gain!

One of the many cool-looking caterpillars we 

saw scooting around the trail...

Made it to the summit! I couldn't believe how foggy

it was that day; we literally could not see beyond the edges

of the flat part of the peak. I thought the fog would have burned

off by the time we got to the trailhead, but it was stubborn!

Heading back down...

Yay! The fog finally started to lift- here's Pat enjoying the view :)

Fresh air is good for the soul!

We started off our day being healthy, but since her time in AK was

getting short, Vince's mom wanted to squeeze in another trip to Humpy's

for some more halibut. We made it back home, freshened up, and headed

downtown for dinner, a little window-shopping, and a drink at the new Hard

Rock Cafe... all followed by a game of cards (I won hehehe). Great day!
