“the wolf’s lonesome howl, the hoot of the great grey owl;
the spirit of alaska has a majestically call.
the strength of the brown bear, the feel of the fresh air
tames man’s ego and makes it seem small”
-jimmy tohill
i came to alaska this summer to bring my dad, it has been his lifelong dream for as long as i can remember. we have tried to come before, but something always came up, but finally 7 days ago we landed in anchorage alaska. it honestly wasn’t on my list at all but now, a mere week later, i believe everyone should experience alaska! it isn’t your typical vacation, some work is involved, and a good attitude is a must. the weather was never great, it rained a lot, but it never stopped us. we hiked, fished, and viewed the most gorgeous glaciers they were almost surreal. when it was sunny it was even more breathtaking, and to see real live whales, sea lions, otters, seals, and the magnificent grizzly bear. inspiring and indescribable… we adventured into denali our last few days and to see moose and caribou playing in the clear mountain air reminded me to breath deeper, take life a little less seriously, and enjoy the outdoors again. it snowed on the way down the mountain and we took time out to play in it a bit. it was an altogether memorable and cherished trip with my dad and i think you should add Alaska to your list
