The very beautiful and dangerous mud flats of Cook Inlet
If you’re looking to have an Alaskan journey but not sure where to begin? Anchorage Alaska is the most populated and has all the things a big city would have but with an Alaskan feel. The mountains in the background, great people and in my opinion a great starting point for any Alaskan adventure. This is a view of downtown. I just got so lucky to have a perfect view with a rainbow! #alaska
