High tide on the Turnagain Arm as seen from Seward Highway. Turnagain Arm has the second highest tides in North America after the Bay of Fundy. These tides, which can reach 40 feet come in so quickly that they produce a wave known as a bore tide. Adventurous kayakers and surfers have taken to riding the tide as an extreme sport. Hikers should not get stuck in the quicksand-like mudflats that otherwise make up the beaches along Turnagain Arm.
From Anchorage to Denali National Park, Alaska. Smoke from the numerous fires are making it hazy.
An appropriate name for this flower. Even though we didn't get to see Denali because of the smoke, we did find some beauty along the Nenana River near our lodge.
