These are photos from my trip to Alaska in July, 2016. It was a graduation present from my grandma to my cousin and I. I never thought that I would go there. It was a once in a lifetime trip. We went on a guided trip with other people and went to different cities. The weather was in the 60s, and very light out until the early morning. This trip was filled with so much adventure and wildlife. One day we went whitewater rafting and I spotted about 12 bald eagles. Another day, we went flying and I got to see the tallest mountain in America, Mount Denali. Another day, we went kayaking on Kenai Lake on the Kenai Peninsula. My cousin and I went in our kayak, and apparently kayaked about six miles. The water was breathtaking, so if our kayak had flipped, we would’ve died. The instructor told me and my cousin had kayaked way too far, but I think it was worth it, because it was such a beautiful view. When we went flying, we saw glaciers. We also went on a day cruise, and we saw otters, seals, and a whale. It was amazing! We went gold panning one day, and it was pretty amazing, despite all of the flies and mosquitoes that were biting me. It was such an amazing trip!
I would definitely suggest going to Alaska!
I have never been anywhere even close to Alaska and I feel like it is not the typical vacation spot. After seeing these pictures I really want to go now!
My fiance spent a week back packing though Alaska and absolutely loved it. The scenery is so breath taking we definitely want to take a trip back there! However, I’m definitely not going to be back packing. I like staying in hotels lol.
Your photos are amazing! All the sights you describe truly does sound like a once in a lifetime experience. I really enjoy your third photo of the water splashing over your raft.
