The best thing about “social distancing” is being able to capture beautiful landscapes in Alaska’s most visited locations and not having to worry about the crowds. I have been able to soak up Alaska’s clean air and all the beauty it has to offer, while taking my time. The weather has been great, and the days have become longer. The ice has been melting and the foliage is slowly starting to bloom.
Fun Facts: Portage Glacier is the second-most visited Alaska attraction next to Denali National Park and it’s only a little over an hour from my house! It is an Ice Age glacier that is still active and continues to shape the Portage Valley. It is 6 miles long and fluctuates in size depending on the climate changes. It is home to many birds and other wildlife.
The ice is starting to melt and you can start to see a bit of a reflection. Reflections are my favorite! I can’t wait until it is fully melted so that I can show you the lake’s turquoise glory! The clarity of this lake is unbelievably beautiful! I may have to declare this my first camp site!
How are you making the best of your social distancing time?
