Tony Knowles Coastal Trail & Earthquake Park

This is a portion of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail (looking back towards downtown Anchorage) that runs 11 miles or so along the shoreline from near downtown Anchorage to Kincaid Park, southwest of Anchorage. This is in late March and as one can see, there are not too many signs of spring yet. If you look closely, you can still see ice and snow on the path in shady areas. You can also see the mountains that are east of Anchorage.

Although we didn't see any, moose and other wildlife are often seen along the Coastal Trail.

This is a picture from Earthquake Park. At this area along the coastal trail, during the 1964 earthquake, a large portion of the shoreline slid off into the Cook Inlet destroying a number of homes that bordered this part of the shoreline.
