Starting to take those once in a lifetime trip while I can biggrin Planned a 15 day Alaskan trip last year and just came back Monday. Below is a short description with a couple pictures.

On July 12th departed Vancouver BC on Holland America Zaandam North bound Alaska cruise.
First stop was Ketchikan, did a zip line tour in the mountains and walked around town for the day. Couple odd characters walking downtown dressed in nothing but wolf furs.


In Juneau hiked the Mendenhall glacier and falls, beautiful area, pictures don’t do it justice.


In Skagway took the gold rush train over the pass into Canada.


The ship spent the day at Glacier Bay.


Ship drop off at Seward, bus to Anchorage to pick up the RV, one day in town.


Denali for 2 day.

5 hour jeep tour thru the back country, my jeep pictured for the day


Jeff King Iditarod kennel tour.



Fairbanks for 2 days.
Gold dredge.


Alaskan pipeline


Moose everywhere



Panned for gold, found 48 dollars worth.


Chena Hot Springs resort for the day.

Awesome report! Where are the fishing pics?

Please tell me you went fishing.

I fish, therefore I smell

No time for fishing on the trip, schedule was full.
I did see a bunch of salmon swimming up stream along the coast and grayling in the streams inland.

Well Done ! Thanks for posting

Did Alaska with my family in 2010 - a trip I will never forget.
