Destination Information- Alaska

It is information time! Aren't you excited?
Always wanted to go to Alaska?

Well now is the time!! That is right, Global Warming is killing the world but it is a perfect time to go to Alaska, the glaciers are calving and that is what you are spending all your money to see!!!

Now the best way to see Alaska is by a cruise. It gets you up nice and close to the Glaciers.

The places that you want to see is Glacier Bay First, then Collage Fjord, Then the Tracy Arm and then the Huber Glacier.

Glacier bay only allows 2 ships in a day, so you will pay more, but it is well worth it if you are a glacier hound!

Also get a balcony, do the math, you are paying for the scenery, so see it!

Now moving away from the cruise there is inland, you can do this by train, bus or car...once again if you can afford it, then do it! It is some of the most beautiful scenery that you will ever see! Denali National Park, Mt McKinley, Dawson Creek, even the Arctic Circle.

There are no trains that go from Vancouver to the heart of Alaska and only several airlines (small and expensive), so once again, go by cruise!

Below are some of the ports that you will see on the cruise.





Skagway looks like an old frontier town,
There is also the White Pass railway that is not to be missed!





Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park













Hiking trails at the top of the
Mountain in Juneau, this is also a great port
to go to the Mendenhall Glacier, try deep sea
fishing, whale watching!!











Creek Street in Ketchikan








Open for questions!!!
