Alaska WILDlife




So, A few weeks ago when Mom came to visit, Mom, the kids and I went to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center down the Seward Highway near Girdwood. It was my first trip down or up, for that matter, the Seward and it was gorgeous. What should have beena 45-50 trip took 1hour and 15 minutes. The ocean was on the right and beyond that and the all around us were the mountains and I just couldn't believe how beautiful and majestic these works were. To the left was mountain and rock wall that had the melting snow and ice falling out of it. Evan kept saying, Look, Nana!! Another waterfall. Did you see it? Did you see it?"



Then we got to the wildlife center and boy was it windy, but it was neat to see the animals. It was made up of animals from alaska and that were endangered somehow. My favorite were the wood bison, not to be confused with plains bison that we all know and love from Texas. They got so close to the fence and just stared us in the eye. There were also moose, elk, musk ox, black bear, reindeer, an eagle named Adonis and there were also brown bear, but they didn't wanted to see us I guess. They didn't come out. It was a really cool trip.
