Also a pretty stream we saw along the way. The water is very blue and lovely which makes me believe it is glacier water.

Matanuska Glacier
Chris's parents are in Alaska and we've been doing some sightseeing. This is the Matanuska Glacier. It is a couple hours drive northeast of where we live. It is a 27 mile long Glacier that goes back into the Chugach Mountains. You can go to a place and get on the glacier but its a little dangerous so we didn't go. In some spots they say it reaches 10,000 feet and at its widest is 4 miles. It used to occupy the entire valley you see here.
