On the way back, we stopped at Hope (an old mining town that was basically closed) and also the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. As I look through my photos, hilariously I only have photos of lupine, but we did see bears (my first!), bison, porcupine, and others.

Afterward we hit a couple of breweries, including one I'd really been wanting to visit - Anchorage Brewing Co. - and one that Burt and Linda had wanted to visit - King Street Brewery.

For our last meal, we went to the Crow's Nest, maybe the fanciest spot in town. We hit the mother lode of fresh veggies, seafood, and nice cocktails. We also teed up some ideas to travel together again in the future, and heartily invited Burt and Linda to Maine.
I would definitely visit Alaska again, and hope I do so. Every way you look, there is beauty. I hope that our country can preserve that for the future.
