Anyone else ever been to Alaska?

Absolutely breathtaking scenery and people who live there are all first class beautiful people.

I just want to know if anyone else has been here and what you thought?

Usually my kids love carribean vacations but we had such s blast.

Anyone else been??? What ya think?

I stayed in Fairbanks and North Pole for a week years ago. Pretty fun trip. Couldn’t find any pretty girls, but the scenery and everything was nice.

The Alaska/Louisiana purchase was great for USA, you doubled the size of the landscape, I don't know anyone there but agreed it looks beautiful.

30 Days of Night taught me everything about Alaska.

Fantastic documentary

We did a cruise so we did:

Whale watching
Glacier dog sledding
A train ride through Skagway which was neat to look at wildlife and the old town
A lumberjack show kids loved it

My family and I drove there in about 1978. The Alaskan Highway runs through Canada and, at the time, it was about 1500 miles, lots of which was gravel road. The Wilderness of that area and throughout Alaska is breathtaking.

Alaska has always been sort of a fantasy of mine. Not just vacationing, but living like this guy :

I loved my time there. Denali was fantastic and spent some time in a cabin a few hours away from civilization. No internet and spotty phone service but everyday I would wake up and walk somewhere new and everything looked like right out of a fantasy novel.

it was a magical place. sad Ive never been back.

Alaska is a very beautiful region. Nature is gorgeous and rich. I like to travel. But I love warm countries more. Alaska is very cold. Thank you for keeping such great shots for us. I was in Egypt diving in winter. So many beautiful frames were made. But there were some problems with the computer, and a lot of data just disappeared.

Nasty ass mosquitos in the summer, but beautiful in the winter. Amazing drive from BC to Anchorage in the winter months, just have to make sure you watch your fuel and plan your stops.

Hey we did a cruise actually on the Norwegian bliss that stopped in a variety of ports including cruising the glacier bay, simply beautiful.

My kids range in age with my little man just born not too long ago but none in the teenage years yet
