Out to Glacier View

I had a few hours after the conference wrapped up for the day so I jumped in the rental car and drove out past Palmer to Glacier View. The valley heading up there is absolutely stunning.
No matter which way I turned, there were huge mountains waiting to greet me.
Just look at those gorgeous mountains!

Big river carrying snow melt out to sea.
Looking down off a bluff to those wild mountains.
Absolutely stunning.

Everything feels so big and so close.
Glaciers lurk in the back country.
It’s all just so dang big.
The glacier in the valley on the left is what everyone comes to see. It’s absolutely massive. It must have been really impressive a few thousand years ago when it made it all the way down to Anchorage.
