Our Backyardi

Yesterday was a rare day in Seward--the sun had full reign over the sky! We took advantage of the beauty, and went on this hike. The trail literally starts 5 blocks away from our apartment, then it's straight up Mt. Marathon to witness some amazing views. The Seward small boat harbor is in Resurrection Bay, that's the view from about halfway up the mountain, just before the alpine areas when we were still in the tree line. It's amazing how quickly you can go from sea level (our apartment is across the street from the shore of the bay) to alpine tundra--an hour and a half of steady hiking. The last picture is from as far up as we could get. Our backyard.
