Denali Teklanika Campground
17 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
As I predicted, this is a really special place. Furthest you can drive into Denali, and then only with a special permit and a reservation at this campground.

Last night had a lecture from a park Ranger at the campground... Light as day at 8pm, sitting 250 miles from anywhere, no cell reception, no iPad for my kids, as they learned about bears and caribou and loved every minute of it. Why don't we, as parents, emphasize places like this more?

Today (next entry) ventured into the park....Okumaya devam et

Bears!!!
17 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Why come to Alaska? Why drive to Denali? To see these guys! BEARS. In the wild, a mother with two cubs. Unreal. Better pictures as I process them. What a sight...

We also saw caribou, Dal sheep, and lots of little hares, squirrels, etc. Denali is a great example of the gifts of our national parks. We'll maintained, friendly Rangers, and a strong message of conservation. As it should be.

To keep pollution down, you must ride a park bus further in than we are here. Teklanika is the last stop for private vehicles. The bus drivers spot wildlife and train about the history of the park, etc.

As Katherine said, "life changing."

The building pictured is the Eilson visitor center, 2 hours into the park, a LEEDS certified building built into the hillside. Gotta be one of the most remote structures you could imagine. That was our turn around point since the kids were wearing thin on bits riding!

And of course hundreds of photons of stunning scenery that does truly defy words.Okumaya devam et

Alyeska
18 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
After almost 8 hours in the motorhome, when the kids were actually really really good, arrived at the Alyeska in Girdwood. We figured we would want a hotel in the middle of this and I am really looking forward to a long hot shower.

This is a ski resort during the winter and mountain biking etcetera during the summer. It is the beginning of the Kenai Peninsula, where we plan to fish and relax after adventuring through Denali.

Might be tough to see in this picture, but this the cable car to the top that serves as a gondola for ski season, but tomorrow we will hike around at the summit.Okumaya devam et

Whittier, Alaska
20 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 9 °C
After a great night in the US Forest Service campground at Williwaw, Alaska, we are off to Whittier. This tiny town is at the opening of prince William Sound, and we plan on a 4 hour boat to see glaciers from the water.

Interesting drive, as the tunnel here is 2.5 miles long and one line for cars in both directions AND trains. They time the three groups to prevent the nasty head on collision!!Okumaya devam et

Glacier!
20 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
One more incredible sight! We cruised about 2 hours out to these magnificent glaciers. Even got to see, and hear, some calving. Amazing! They even fished some ice out of the water for making glacier drinks on the way back in...

And the girls earned another junior Ranger badge. Awesome day, now off to Homer to see old friends and tomorrow out on their boat for some fishing...Okumaya devam et

Homer
20 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Winding up this incredible trip on Homer, on the Kenai Peninsula. Long 4 hour drive from Whittier. However mother nature came through with several bald eagles and a huge Moose!

The entire Peninsula is incredible and Homer is the crowning jewel for sure. We have some Alaska friends, and they grew up here so tomorrow is on their boat fishing.

The beach photos were all taken from our campsite on "the spit" at the veery end of the line.... Of Alaska, essentially. They were taken after 11pm!Okumaya devam et

Day on the Water
21 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 11 °C
Visiting good friends who grew up here on Homer. By the way, check out the screenshot Katherine took of the Homer Spit where we are staying. It's so narrow that maps can't even pick it up!

Andy and Roxanne have a small skiff, and we had an awesome day out on the water. Kids got to drive the boat! Went to Halibut Cove, an amazing village reachable only by boat.

Tried some fishing (little luck), had a fire on a beach in the middle of nowhere, and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Kids LOVED it!

Alaska has shown me so many things.... One is that folks who have immediate access to true wilderness are lucky, and they really cherish it.

Super day...Okumaya devam et

Headed back to Anchorage
22 Haziran 2017, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Check out the bird on our light this morning! So we are headed back, booooooo!

Stopped for some fishing on the return trip. I mean, if you want to know how insanely perfect this state is, the fishing pics here are just a random right turn off the highway that says "public access to lake" or something. We were there with maybe 5 other people. LOOK AT THAT PLACE!

Then we returned on a whim to Williwaw camp, about an hour out of Anchorage. No reservation? No problem. 18 bucks gets you a site with the last photo below as your view!

We can't wait to return to Alaska. Both Katherine and I agreed that we have been fortunate enough to travel to many interesting places around the globe--and this was top few to be sure.Okumaya devam et
