Flightseeing 'Round Anchorage

A couple months ago we bought a Flightseeing Groupon, but because of scheduling and the unpredictable Anchorage weather we had yet to use it. But we finally made it happen, with 2 weeks to spare before the Groupon expired.

We flew in a Cessna 206 with another couple visiting from Virginia. We flew over  Triumvirate Glacier and Mt. Spurr Volcano. We had hopes of going to Denali, but the cloud cover just wouldn't lift. (In retrospect that was a good thing because Denali is a much longer trip and I got "plane sick". By the end of our flight I couldn't wait to get off.)
