Anchorage...from afar

This past weekend it was so unbelievably beautiful!!!! Here are some pics of Flat Top Peak, which has great views of Anchorage from the top! If anyone reading this has ever hiked with Justin before you know exactly how this hike went....head straight to the peak, no switch-backs, no following the trail like everyone else...no! We just go one direction, no variation - eyes on the prize! Plus, if you aren't gasping for air, then you're not hiking fast enough! (We did get up that sucker pretty fast though using the Just Right method!!!!) Here are some pics of the scenery from up there!

Our 15 minute ride up to the trailhead from our house. Everyday view of mountains around Anchorage.

We made it to the top!! (record time, of course!)

And here's the view from Flat Top Peak....of more peaks....and

...of Downtown Anchorage. My office building is the one the furthest northwest, right on the water!

BONUS SECTION: pics from our house!

Check out our icicles on our sunroom windows!

And Justin in our backyard by our little creek (which I have already fallen in more than once!! Snow can be tricky...not always solid!). Thank goodness for warm UGGS!!!
