Here are some pictures I just took today to wet your appetite. My son and I hiked up the Harding Ice Field trail next to Exit Glaicer in Keni Fijords National Park where we live. The Harding Ice Field is miles and miles of ice left over from the ice age, the largest ice field in North America. The elevation is 3400 feet. My son is nine years old and it was his first time hiking this far up. He did it as if he'd been doing it all his life. Needless to say I'm proud of my son today!

That last one is looking out over the glaicer valley from where we started our hike. You can see the top of the glacier in the lower right hand corner.
