I felt great as I wound my way back to Glennallen; excited to see what was to the west along my way to Anchorage. The Tolsona Wilderness Campground turned out to be just how it was labeled: wilderness. There was no town to speak of, just the campground and a restaurant/bar that was more or less empty. It is a pretty fair distance back in the woods from the highway on a gravel road which was very dusty. It was a very quiet place with just the sound of a creek flowing through it along with occasional sounds from guest's vehicles entering or exiting.
The following day was going to be a busy exciting day for sure. Along the way to Anchorage, I discovered an unexpected surprise. I came upon a small town named Glacier View, which is where I got to see the Matanuska Glacier. As usual, the pictures don't do it justice.
Around lunchtime, I reached my first destination of the day; the sprawling Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport:
Here is the view of the Pacific Ocean from Elderberry Park in Anchorage; along with a shot of part of the park itself:
