Lately I have been too focused on getting to Nepal in three years. but in less than 3 months I am traveling to Alaska for a trip of a lifetime with my daughter Fantu. She's my nature documentary loving adventurer. She didn't hesitate to offer to go when my friend backed out of the trip a few months back. Last night when I wish I had been sleeping I got to thinking about the trip and started to get excited. The trip was booked through Alaska Rail.
We will be flying into Fairbanks arriving quite late that night. We will have one day to explore before taking the train (traveling in the Goldstar class) to Denali National Park. We will have 2- half days and one full day there to explore. We will be taking the Denali bus into the park as far as it can travel ( which due to a landslide is only 40 miles instead of 80). We will hopefully get to do a few short hikes and then see what we can explore after that. From there we travel to Anchorage for a quick overnight before catching the train to Seward and a catamaran cruise around Resurrection Bay hopefully seeing whales, seals, otters, puffins and eagles. Hopefully we will get lucky and see a glacier calving too. We are also planning on a hike in Kenai Fjords National Park to see the Exit Glacier. We will be there overnight before returning to Anchorage. We will be wrapping the the adventure by taking a flight on a seaplane to Lake Clark National Park and going out by boat onto Crescent Lake to view the Brown (Grizzly) bears feasting on salmon around the shores of the lake. We will have a day to explore Anchorage before catching our long flight home.
It will be a busy trip and hopefully filled with fun and adventure oh and lots of salmon and halibut to eat!
