Saturday we went to Alyeska Resort to do some outdoor adventures. I decided to try snowboarding in the mountain. It was great to talk to our mountain tour guide about their views of the mountain. We were able to learn from her that the Alaska skiing trail ratings, such as intermediate level is about an expert level in Minnesota. This was good to know! Their easy hills were intermediate for us to go on. It was interesting to see the locals in the area and having the opportunity to chat with an expert skier. Needless to say between the views we amazing and the challenges the mountain gave me, I would go back and snowboard in the mountains!
Today we went to Seward to the Sea Life Center. This was neat to see and even better to see the wild sea lions swimming in the bay by the overlook. The views of the mountains and ocean were amazing. We then traveled along side the gulf and saw a whale briefly come up for air. We were given the opportunity to see more sea lions and a brief glimpse of a whale. We were able to stop at a part in Seward and walk along the beach. Alaska is full of Mother Nature's beauty!
