Alyeska & Double Musky
On the 23rd we went to Alyeska to take the tram to the top and check things out. In the weeks leading up to our trip to Alaska we saw that there was not enough snow for us to bring our snowboards. But that didn't mean that we didn't want to see Alyeska at all. To the contrary we went to Alyeska and took the tram from the hotel to the top. A lot of the valley was obscured in fog which periodically partially cleared. But we had a nice view from the top, and had some coffee at the 7 Glaciers restaurant at the top. It was a nice experience. After we were done we took the tram back down the hill and drove down the street to have dinner at the Double Musky Inn, one of Alaska's finest restaurants. Timber and I split the French peppered steak, which is what they are known for. We also had a few appetizers and split a few of the desserts. Overall everything was very good and I can see why people go out of their way to eat at the Double Musky Inn. If you are in Anchorage and have time to drive down to Girdwood (about an hour each way) I definitely recommend eating here.
