This picture is of the sky lift that took you from the hotel to the top. I think in the winter you could take it to the top to ski maybe. There was an observation deck, skiing, and the most wonderful restaurant with the best food ever. One of the best meals on the trip and the last place I had gelato. A man in the restaurant gave me a rose as I was leaving. I dried it and have it hung up in my room. There was a wedding going on at the hotel too. Just wonderful.

The best place I ate was in Seward in my own cabin believe it or not. I had steak, salad, potatoes and gelato ice cream. No pressure - just sitting out on the deck and swinging when the steak was cooking, drinking a glass of wine.
Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill...

The ski lift - the chairs up - without snow. Can you just imagine the beautiful view with snow?

They shoot this gun off every morning (in the winter) to prevent avalanches for the skiers during the day.

The finale is sad for me like the trip ending was. In the airport I was actually crying. Some woman who I sat next too - didn't say a word - she just handed me a Kleenex.
Some body tole me once - it is what it is. I'm still not sure if I believe that. Is it a cop out or is it acceptance?
Love y'all,

I'm fascinated by that giant gun.
Perhaps you could go back to Alaska in winter and see if it still speaks to you...then maybe your path to peace in your heart would become clearer...
Chatty, this looks like an awesome place to end your trip. The whole dang experience sounds so enchanting....I think Holly is right..winter might be an entirely different "trip" so to speak! Ha!
Great pics.
You girls are right. I am looking for peace. Do you think that gun would help (lol) or those cold alaska winters?
Do we really have to go home? I've had such a good time on this visit.
Tis true.
