Uploaded by: katy99780 — Monday February 7, 2011 — Tok, AK (Current Weather Conditions)

Bright beautiful day, facing gunsight mountain from Eureka Summit on the Glenn Highway, between Glennallen and Anchorage Alaska. (see the 'telltale' gunsight notch?)

The valley we will be descending into is blanketed in fog.

Incredible, haven't seen this "spot" in the road, since I was a child. Used to be a highlight as we went out to visit with family friends near Glennallen.

Thanks Katy for all the wonderful memories your photos continually bring back for us on a regular basis.

Very cool photo! In some ways I like the road diving into the fog better than the mountain.

The depth in this photo is awesome. Drive right off the end into a sea of fog. Wonderful capture.

Congratulations on your AC!

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north must be respected, for they control every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
