Exit Glacier

July 11
We hiked up to the face of Exit Glacier and it was impressive. Later we stopped by the "I-did-a-ride" kennels. This is a play on word Iditarod, the dog mushing event held each March, racing dog teams from Anchorage to Nome...1,000+ miles. This year's winner was Mitch Seavey and he is the owner of the I-did-a-ride kennels. We took a tour of the kennels, got to kiss some puppies and watch others take a trip in a large wagon pulled by a team of Alaskan Huskies. In the evening, we toured the Alaska SeaLife Center where they rehabilitate injured animals and return them to the wild.
