Just a few more pictures from today in Palmer, AK. I haven’t been here since 2016 and truly forgot how beautiful it is. We have enjoyed today and really excited about tomorrow.

I don’t know the name of the mountain on the left, but the center is Knik Glacier, and the tall mountain on the right is Pioneer Peak. We made it to Palmer, Alaska today and went for a little sightseeing. Tomorrow is Hatchers Pass!
