Ya, great photos. I'd like to try that trip some day! Ya the snow was gone in the front country by about May or so, except for the odd storm that'll dump some snow. You have to get north of 66 before you get 24 hour daylight in june and july. Most we get here is about 16 hrs on june 21st, that's sunrise to sunset, but of course you always have that dusk and dawn light.
