Update about a road trip.
I was blessed with great weather as I drove the 385 miles from Tok back to Whitehorse but I’m wondering if Alaska has spoiled me in terms of recognizing good landscapes.

Before getting on the road I made my final visit to Denali NP to watch the Dog Sled Demo. Back in … Continue reading Denali to Juneau – Fair Journey to a Wonderful Destination
