Did you know that Alaska is cold? Even in the summer? Yes, Memaw was not happy about the temperatures, but overall our Alaskan adventure was excellent.
First and foremost, this state has so much natural beauty. The mountains, the glaciers, the forests, the animals. Everything. It also has a very small population, so traffic is never bad (as far as I can tell).
Here's what we did:
Anchorage Museum- A top museum. I really enjoyed the combination of art and history.
Alaska Native Heritage Museum- Very informative. Also home to a family of overprotective geese.
Train to Spencer Glacier- Scenic and glacial
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center- MOOSE. BEARS. PORCUPINE. REINDEER. ALL THE ANIMALS.
Denali- We drove until we could see Denali (through clouds), then turned around.
I feel like outdoorsy people would get more out of Alaska than we did, but we still learned about the state and its history and culture. And we saw our big three: glacier, bear, and moose. Check.
Now, it's on to Asia! I think it will be a little warmer there.
