Roller Coaster Road!

Destruction Bay to Slana ?.. Miles

Daniel would love this road. Rollercoaster dips, heaving, long cracks and deterioration of road surfaces are sure signs of thaw-related changes to the underlying permafrost. Every year it expands and contracts and the result is a very roily ride sort of like an out of control porpoise.

As the day progressed the landscape changed from high peaks and majestic views of yesterday to low growing sub alpine plants and stunted pines and alder.
