Labor Day, Alaskan Style

Tony and I spent an absolutely fabulous Labor Day at Hatcher Pass today. The sun was warm, the breeze was light, and so we decided to go hiking. I love Hatcher Pass. Tony and I were married there, on the side of a mountain in winter. Yes, it was below zero that day but hey, it was absolutely beautiful as well.

As I mentioned previously, fall has come to Alaska and the colors are almost at their peak here. Below are a few photos from our day of hiking.



This is the view we had for our wedding. We were married in this spot, overlooking the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. What could be more beautiful?



Soon, these mountain peaks will receiving a dusting of snow, and then will be cover wtih feet of snow until next spring.



This is one of the trails that overlooks Summit Lake off the Hatcher Pass road.

Me in front of the rushing Little Susitna River. It is fed by glacial run off and is so clear and blue. It's beautiful
