Matanuska Glacier

Arlyne on hiking trail

Another gray, cool day; started towards Valdez along the Glenn Hwy (Rt 1). Detoured onto a side road to Seventeenmile Lake, a rather pretty and isolated lake where I enjoyed fishing for grayling, caught and released several small ones. Stopped at Matanuska Glacier SRA and hiked a short distance to a viewing stand to see the Glacier, a pretty sight. Decided to camp at the State Recreation Area campground, very small (9 sites) but nicely set up.
