“

An un-hurried but comprehensive experience with good optional activities. It compared well with my previous trips in Alaska that included Denali NP, Kenai Fjords NP, Seward and Anchorage. I was pleased to re-visit my love of Alaska with family members. Excited to see my first caribou but missed seeing more bears. New for me on this trip were more time to explore Alaskan Native culture and lifestyle and the eclectic charm of small town Talkeetna.
