Visited Alaska in August. Spent 2 days in Denali and we had spectacular weather to see all the wonders of Denali. We were blessed to be able to se Mt. McKinley in all of its magnificence. The wildlife is amazing.
We also visited Kenai Fjords National Park, saw sea lions, harbor seals, Dall porpoises, all sorts of birds. The grand finale was seeing a humpback whale sounding and breaching in Resurrection Bay.
Truly the trip of a lifetime!
Sincerely,

One of the greatest places anywhere in the world, not to be missed! This photo, showing Upper Muldrow Glacier, was taken on a small plane flight around the mountain. These are easy to set up, reasonably priced, and it's easy to find people to share a plane with.
