Day 5:Exit Glacier


This was the day of the 400 mile drive from Denali to Seward. On our way to Seward, we visited the Exit Glacier. There is a hike which gives you a close view to the glacier, but be warned your feet will get wet. We crossed glacial streams and for a while it felt like our toes were amputated :-) After a 9 hour drive it was quite refreshing though.... At the local Salmon Bake, we met locals who told us about Bear lake Road. We got to see Salmon Run for free, trust me that's rare. Hardly anything free in Alaska , except all national parks so far :-)!!! Our stay was at Box Canyon Cabin, on Old Exit glacier road. This was the day we bought fresh Salmon and had Khichuri and maach Bhaja for dinner. Everyone is very happy :-)!!!Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for ever........glaciers falling into the ocean and Orcas????
