We think the official date of summer for Anchorage was July 20th! It's been a cool and rainy June and first part of July, and we left to take our quick before summer's over RV trip to Seward on a rainy day on the 19th - we checked out Exit Glacier, found out it's a national park so no dogs allowed. We still did a bit of a hike and were shocked and outraged at how much the glacier has retreated since we moved here in 2010. 
We checked out a couple of campgrounds for future trips, spent 2 nights in Seward on the beach (at $40 night, outrageous but gorgeous), and did some hiking around town (and reading!)
Then off to Ptarmigan Creek trail and a very wet and brushy 7 mile roundtrip hike to Ptarmigan Lake. Note to self - do it earlier in the year before so overgrown - and maybe not just after a rain!
And then two trips up Flattop, one last week with Trek, Kira's dog father (front side) and the other yesterday (back side) with our good friends from Palmer, Alys & Pete (no pictures taken yesterday.)
