Orange lichen
We took the tram up to the slopes of Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood. We enjoyed watching the parasailers as they took off and slowly drifted down to the valley below. The view of Turnagain Arm from up here was spectacular!
Note the little pink inchworm (geometer moth larva) on the upper right side of the plant. This plant is in the Buckwheat Family. I found this one blooming in Denali National Park.
