Where we are staying is so remote that there is no cell phone connection and no (gasp) internet connection. During our walk, we came upon a National Public services building and the two daughter got stuck there and refused to move. You might have already guessed this but the NPS offers free wifi connection (mostly for hikers)!!

Not sure who did it but very well done. Suddenly came upon it during the walk.

The shape and size was so impressive that my initial reaction was “A dinosaur? In Alaska??”

… now on to a school bus to get to the lodge. And we thought school was over for summer vacation!!

… to really remote Glacier Bay. 14 minute flight. That is about the only option to reach there.

Added after landing: Wheels up to wheels down 10 min 20 sec and Alaska Air flew a 737-400 for this!!!

This raptor is our national bird (and national animal too, as it turns out) and found all over Juneau – but mostly sitting on the light posts along Glacier Highway…
