Alaska
KatmaiNational Park
It was pouring rain the entire time, but seeing the Alaskan brown bears catch salmon at Brooks Falls was the highlight of the trip.
Lake ClarkNational Park
Took a very scenic flight from Anchorage to land on the beach at Chinitna Bay to watch coastal brown bears dig up clams.
DenaliNational Park
Never saw Denali - thanks to wildfires in the area you would have never known there was a mountain nearby. But still saw a variety of wildlife, mostly from really far away, and visited the kennels for the National Park Service's only working sled dogs.
Wrangell - St. EliasNational Park
The largest national park in the United States, we ended up seeing most of this by air with a flight over the Bagley Icefield and surrounding area. Had to deal with a flat tire on the way in courtesy of the unpaved McCarthy Road.
Kennecott Mines
A large abandoned copper mine inside Wrangell - St. Elias National Park that operated during the early 20th century (1908 - 1938).
Kenai FjordsNational Park
My first time ever seeing puffins. Plus otters, whales, a couple of bald eagles, and the best weather of the trip.
Glacier BayNational Park
A national park seen entirely from the deck of the cruise ship. Technically there are over 1,000 glaciers in the 5,000 square mile park, but really only seven major tidewater glaciers.
Kobuk ValleyNational Park
No trails or roads in Kobuk Valley, so you've got to fly in. We landed on the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes for a bit.
Gates of the ArcticNational Park
The least visited national park, as well as the northernmost national park (entirely north of the Arctic Circle). Again, no roads or trails inside the park.
Mendenhall Glacier
A day trip out of Juneau to fly up in a helicopter on to Mendenhall Glacier and trek around for a few hours.
Anchorage
Didn't spend a lot of time in Anchorage. Mostly just pictures of glaciers up near Portage Lake, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, and the Anchorage Museum.
Kotzebue Flightseeing
The second day of flightseeing out of Kotzebue, flying over Noatak National Preserve, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, and the Bering Land Bridge National Preserve. Originally we weren't going to land anywhere, but we spotted a herd of musk ox while flying over Noatak so we landed on a riverbank and got out for a bit.
Ketchikan
Originally we were going to take a seaplane to Misty Fjords National Monument, but the company we had booked with had an "incident" the previous week and canceled on us. Turns out the "incident" was their plane crashing into a mountain (nobody died). So our backup plan was the Alaska Rainforest Sanctuary and Alaska Raptor Center, and then visiting Creek Street (the old red light district).
Skagway & the Yukon
A bus ride across the U.S. - Canada border into the Yukon up to Carcross, and then a train ride back to Skagway on the White Pass and Yukon Route railroad.
Seward
Seward was where the cruise ended. We immediately hopped on a much smaller boat for a full day cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park, then took the train from Seward to Anchorage. Unfortunately, there aren't many pictures from the train ride since bright interior lights and windows that don't open meant most of the pictures were of window reflections.
Hubbard Glacier
Not many pictures here. This was the one day of the trip that was truly bad weather, so there wasn't much to see except rain and fog.
Vancouver, B.C.
Yeah, not technically Alaska... but a 16 hour stay here kicked off the trip. Just enough time to walk through Stanley Park in the morning to see the totem poles before heading to the cruise terminal.
