Today we went on a nice hike up Mount Baldy; it is about 10 miles north of Anchorage. The hike was surprisingly hard, it was a pretty direct route straight up the mountain on snow. It was well worth the effort, right as we made it to the top, to the east side of the ridge, we had the view of the sun setting over the ocean; on the other side of the ridge the moon was out. Either view had spectacular colors- not well portrayed by our camera phones.
