Alaska | Briefly in photos

Grizzly Bears in Denali National Park, Alaska

Oh my, we have been blindsided by the beauty in Alaska.  It is one thing to admire this place from photos and a documentary or two, but it is a completely different animal altogether to be confronted with the raw, breathtaking, seemingly endless expanse of wilderness that is Alaska.  To say it is overwhelming is an understatement.  We are also completely exhausted – there is so much to do and we are trying to fit as much as we can into each and every day.  While I am a little behind in sharing the details of our adventures on the blog, I hope to have some time in the next week or so to catch up.  In the meantime, here are some of my favorite photos from the last few weeks that we’ve spent in the Last Frontier, and as always feel free to follow along on Instagram at @thepursuitof_life.

Olympic Peninsula | Part II

Deer, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA

Continued [See this post for Part I of the Olympic Peninsula!]  Not at all having satisfied our desire to explore the western side of Olympic National Park, but needing to get moving because we are on a somewhat strict timeline, we headed up and around the Peninsula and parked Gelly in the Hearty of the Hills Campground, just outside of Port Angeles and near the main entrance to Olympic NP.  This was a perfect place to camp for us to see our friends in Port Angeles, do some exploring in Hurricane Ridge, and also make our way out to Cape Flattery.
