You can see Alaska in pictures. You can see Alaska in videos. But to fully grasp the magnificence of Alaska, you must visit it and walk on it.

Many people take an inexpensive, quick, round-trip cruise to the Inland Passage. They maybe see a glacier. They maybe see a whale. They maybe see an eagle and they think they have seen and experienced Alaska. It is easy to think that way.

That is, until you have gotten off the ship in Whittier or Seward and explored the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks, spent some time in Denali National Park, cruised Kenai Fjords National Park, panned for gold, sought out the "Big 5", talked with people who raise and train the sled dogs that race in the Iditarod, talked with the Tlingit, observed their dances and totem poles, and heard them describe their way of heritage and life; discussed the challenges climbers face as they climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America.

I have had the privilege of doing all those things and more. I would be happy to discuss this with you and help you plan your perfect, experiential vacation in Alaska.
