Alaska 2012

           

                    

          

 

For our tenth anniversary, and also ten years since we last visited Alaska, we returned to Alaska.  This time we visited three areas.  The first was Denali National Park, where Steve had visited in 2002 but Patty had never been to.  Here we attempted to see the mountain and also spent a few days backpacking in the Toklat River area.  The next stop was Katmai National Park, known for its brown bears feeding on salmon during the month of July.  We experienced a float plane to access the park, and saw our share of bears!  The last attraction was a cruise in the inside passage of southeast Alaska.  Last time we were on a big ship, this time we opted for a small ship, which provided a quite different experience.  We both preferred the small ship!
