16. Little Girl is alway Happy
She is special needs and has only Started talking with a little fluidity. But she is always a little sassy and always silly. She just sees the world in much simpler terms than I.

9. Great pictures and your daughter is charming.
Thank you for sharing. We saw the glaciers receding at least 15 years ago up at Whistler BC.

10. yes a good time was had by all
We walked uphill to the visitors center and were amazed at how packed it was...considering how much the glacier had receded.

13. Portage glacier was my first (and only, really) close up visit to a glacier.
Living in AZ most of my life, it's not something seen often! Spent the winter of 76-77 in Anchorage. Love the blue ice.

14. Sounds like some of you saw the Glacier in it's heyday
Did you know they blew a hole thru the mountain and built a tunnel to Whittier?



There is a toll to get thru...but the only othe way to Whittier is via train
