This was my most favorite part of my entire trip to Alaska (okay visiting the sister and her family was good too...) Hiking in the rain forest in Girdwood was so magical and beautiful, like being in a fairy tale. I know that sounds a little dramatic and corny but it really was the most beautiful and serene place. And the city of Girdwood was like a little village from a children's story book.
On the way down the mountain we pulled our car over to the side of the road and picked salmon berries in the rain. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
In case you were wondering... salmon berries aren't really that great, not like raspberries. But picking them is! :)
