Today we traveled from Palmer (approx. 45 miles NE of Anchorage) to the Williwaw Campground in the Chugach National Forest (2nd largest national forest in USA & approx. 50 miles SE of Anchorage) to spend 3 days dry camping without water, electric or sewer hookups. The campsite area is absolutely beautiful, heavily wooded and in the valley leading to Whittier, AK about 6 miles away. Above is a picture of our campsite.
The above picture was taken sitting at our campsite picnic table. Note the "blue ice" glacier in the upper right corner of the picture. The below picture was taken zoomed in on the glacier in the first picture. Both pictures were taken around 5:00 pm in the evening as we were enjoying a campfire at our campsite.
The next two pictures are exactly the same two views taken from our campsite, but were taken at approximately 11:15 pm. The sun shining high upon the mountain completely changes the perspective and the beauty of the scene. We truly enjoyed our dry camping experience at Williwaw.
