Gull Rock, as seen in the photo below, is on the southside of the Turnagain Arm. Roughly 20 south of Anchorage "as the eagle flies" but over 70 miles by way of the Seward and Hope Highways.
We parked at the Hope Porcupine Campground in the Chugach National Forest and hiked 5.1 miles to the campground site atop Gull Rock.
The weather was in the 30's during the day, and droped into the teens overnight, with sporadic snowshowers the entire time. Gull Rock, being a very exposed site, was very windswept.
We were joined by our good friends Ryan & Ashleigh Hintz, with their dog Denali.
High Tide brought an eerie crashing sound from below, we looked over the cliff to see huge blocks of ice, some larger then a minivan, being pushed in with the tides to this cove.

I wouldn't expect anything less from J&J C. than to carry their own food! Love the doggie backpacks...now you need to train them to wear glacier glasses so they can survive on the snow under the arctic sun!
