These photos are from our trip to Alaska, after we left Denali NP we drove to Glacier View Alaska. Our next two nights were at the Majestic Valley Wilderness Lodge.
1. Views from the lodge's balcony. At the end of our day sightseeing, the evening included a glass of wine while enjoying the view. We talked a bit with the chef and his dog sat nearby, the gardens and flowers were beautiful along with the mountain views.
The fireweed in Alaska and at the lodge looked beautiful.
2. The gardens and flowers were beautiful.
3. The Majestic Valley Wilderness Lodge.
During the winter, people who love to ski can fly right to this lodge, they use a helicopter to drop off skiers on the mountain top to do some extreme skiing.
4. There was a nice fire pit in the garden area.
5. We enjoyed a breakfast buffet one morning, below are some photos of the dining room and lodge.
6. The Gray Jay or is it called the Canada Jay now? We saw a few of these birds in the trees close to the lodge.
7. We took a morning walk before breakfast, below it seemed like mostly Sparrows were being seen. The top left possible Lincoln Sparrow and the middle and top right are the White-crowned Sparrows. My one lifer that I saw but could not get a photo of was the Boreal Chickadee.
Below is a view of the Matanuska Glacier, this view was right off the Glenn Hwy and close to our lodge.
8. Off the highway we saw a small pond with lots of ducks. It looked like most were the female and young Greater Scaup.
There were a few young Scaup, I assume they are also the Greater Scaup.
Hubby and I did some skywatching in the evening on the lodge's balcony.
