Wild And Wonderful Alaska
What a wonderful land tour of Alaska! Kathy, the tour director, was very knowledgeable of Alaska and told many Alaskan stories. The included food was great especially the delicious gourmet farewell dinner at the restaurant at the top of the tram in Girdwood. The two train rides on the Alaska Railroad were wonderful for the amazing scenery, delicious food, and the narrative given by the train guide. In Fairbanks the Museum of the North gave me an opportunity to explore Alaska’s five geographic regions through objects and artifacts. Alaska’s most important sport mushing was highlighted with an informative visit to a sled dog kennel. Our tour group all got to hold a husky puppy and received a picture documenting the experience. Seeing Denali from the hotel restaurant and from the jet boat excursion was awesome! The guided school bus ride into Denali National Park was memorable since we saw a moose and two caribou. The wild flowers were blooming everywhere especially the red fireweed. I
