Glenn Highway, Anchorage to Glenallen, 8-3-2010

On Tuesday we left Anchorage and the madness of the biggest city in Alaska. Six lane freeways, impatient drivers, one way streets, and best of all, a moose right next to an off-ramp nibbling on tree leaves.
Further along to the east we had these views of the Matanuska Glacier.


As we approached Mile 113 from Anchorage we came alongside Sheep Mountain with this distinctive coloration, caused by gymsum stained with iron oxide.
