Exit Glacier

The next day we drove home to Anchorage, but we made two stops along the way.  Our first stop was Exit Glacier.  Exit Glacier is in the Kenai Fjords National Park.  We took a mile long hike that leads you up to the side of the glacier.  Our day started off cloudy and cool, but warmed up really nicely!  This post may have an overload of pictures.  It was just so pretty out there!
 
Driving to the glacier.  You can see how grey and cold it was.

Starting to clear up.

Starting the hike.

Getting warm!

Starting to see the glacier.

Getting closer!  Had to take our jackets off it was so warm.

You can see the blue tinge in the glacier now.



Up next to the glacier is cold because the cold of the ice causes wind.
 Pretty views on the way out too!
