Alaska 7 - Exploring Anchorage

 Hiya Gang,
Little Fox here.  Alaska is a pretty cool place.  Lots of wildlife, fresh seafood, glaciers, craft beverages, friendly folks and of course lots of hiking too.  Today's hike is at Bird Creek Falls.  A short hike near Anchorage. 

A little dicey on the last parts of the trail but the falls were amazing. 

Another cool hike near Anchorage was the Gold Mint Trail (Short version).  

This trail was in the Hatcher Pass area north of Anchorage but certainly worth the drive. 

I also got a chance to explore Anchorage.  Local bars and restaurants, unique bakeries and fancy hotels.  The fanciest hotel I explored was the Capt. Cook Hotel in Anchorage. 

For goodness sake, the hotel has its own coat of arms. 

Capt. Cook had quite a few voyages around the world.  His voyage to Alaska was to find the Northwest Passage back to Europe.  No such luck Captain. 

So much cool artwork in the lobby. 

This fox is hungry.  Time to say goodbye to Captain Cook and head out to a little cafe the roommates found called Moose A'la Mode. 

Any restaurant with stuffies hanging out at the door is the kind of place for me. 

All good things come to an end.  I'm fortified with some coffee and it's time for this little fox to head back home.
