Alaska is breathtaking.
It is one of my favorite places in the world. If you haven't been to Alaska, be sure to make time to go sometime soon. In hindsight, I waited too long to go and now I try to go back every year and take in more of what Alaska has to offer. From grizzly bears to brown bears to polar bears and black bears...you can see it all in Alaska. A nice trip is to fly into Anchorage and then go North to Denali and then up to Fairbanks. From there, you can circle around to the East through Tok, Glennallen, Palmer and then back to Anchorage. On that same trip you can also head down South to the Kenai Peninsula and see Homer, Seward and a lot of other great towns. A nice hike outside of Anchorage, past Eagle River just off Highway 1 is Thunder Bird Falls Trail.
The pictures below include sights from Denali (young grizzly bear and Ptarmigan birds) to near Homer (caribou), Misty Fiords, near Ketchikan and Lake Hood (in Anchorage).
