Tok to Glennallen via the Glenn Highway

The Glenn Highway is designated as a National Scenic Byway, and it is diverse and beautiful! Above is the Tok Slough (we might call them ponds). They often attract birds, and moose.

Generally the forests are comprised of paper birch, quaking aspen, balsam poplar, black spruce, white spruce and tamarack. Above (left) is the Alaska Mountain Range; and larger sloughs (above right). Alas, we never see any moose in any of the sloughs and rarely ducks.

Sanford Mt., a dominate volcano, left, and Drum Mountain right are part of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve. These mountains dominate and are visible along the highway for miles.

It is so amazing to see rain falling from distant clouds (above) but never get the rain where you are.




Camped for the night in Dry Creek State Park. Of course, I could not resist looking for more and different flowers. Below is the Dwarf Raspberry otherwise known as Nagoonberry.

Lastly, the Leafy Arnica
