A trip to Wrangell-St. Elias

We have just returned from a trip to Iceberg Lake in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. In order access this area we had to fly in on a bush plane. These are a very important part of life in Alaska. In fact one former governor of Alaska was a bush pilot.

We flew into the park on Wrangell Mountain Air. http://www.wrangellmountainair.com/ It was our first experience on a bush plane.

The fires in Alaska have begun to subside. After a very hectic few days last week when we were worried about the Boundry Fire moving into our area, we finally got some rain. The fires have slowed down, and the fire fighters have been able to set fire lines where they cut a clear space where the fire cannot burn.
