Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
After the Portage Glacier, we stopped by the AWCC where they keep and/or rehab injured animals until they can release them back into the wild. We saw bears, moose, ox, elk, an all kinds of animals. Very cool.

Portage Glacier
On our way back to Anchorage we stopped by the Portage Glacier and saw a huge iceberg in the lake that had broken off of the underside of the glacier a little over a week ago. Only 10% is visible of the iceberg, which is estimated to weigh 275,000 tons. Incredible!
Fishing at the Russian River
We hiked with uncle Dan out to the Russian River Falls to see the salmon test their luck at swimming upstream. I was amazed that sone make it at all over the several tiers of pounding whitewater. After a good hike we took a break for a quick lesson in fly fishing. Trout count: Dan (1), Lauren (2), Keith (0). Maybe next time Keith. :)
