We started the day with temperatures in the upper 50’s. After breakfast at the Aviator Hotel (also known as the Wild Birch), we walked around downtown Anchorage. Shortly before noon we took a quick shuttle to the local train station for a couple hour rail journey to Whittier. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any wildlife, but we were treated to amazing mountain views until the clouds appeared.

While traveling on the train, I tried a local amber and Alan had the IPA.
