We flew to Ukpiagvik, Alaska on Alaska Airlines. Ukpiagvik use to be known as Barrow. This is the most northern town in the United States. I first learn about Barrow from the news broadcast in 1988 about 3 humpback whales that were being recued after they were trapped under ice with no path back to the ocean. I had almost forgotten about Barrow until film makers made a movie, of their version, ...

We enjoyed the thrill of witnessing a bore tide along the Turnagain Arm and seeing Beluga Whales The bore tide is a spectacular sight, a wave up to 10 feet high, that thunders into Turnagain Arm just south of Anchorage in the right tide conditions. The one we saw was more than the expected 30 inches. It was great to see this dramatic show of nature’s power from the Seward Highway. The bore tide...

One of our check list items while visiting Alaska was to take an airplane ride and see it from above. We did this with K2 Aviation on there Top of the World flight. We did not get to see the top of the mountain due to cloud cover. We did land on a glacier which was the highlight of the trip.

When we visited Denali National Park and Preserve, we stayed in in the Teklanika Campground. On our second day there, we took a bus to East Fork which at that time was as far as we could go in. We were blessed with another wonderful clear day and got great views of the mountain and hills.

We board the Glacier Discover Train with the Alaska Railroad and ride from Anchorage, Alaska to Grandview and back again. We make a stop in Whittier, Alaska which we have visited earlier this summer. We see a lot of glaciers, drive through several tunnels, and see many water falls.

T08-071 Palmer, Alaska \ Hatcher Pass & Independent Mine \ Alaska State Fair We returned to Alaska as planned for the Alaska State Fair. We revisited some places, found a new mural and made a nice hike.

We went back to Valdez; we love it that much. We are still too early to see the fish hatcher in full action. I did catch four nice salmon which make my $100 for a non-resident fishing license not a complete loss. We did a day trip back up to Thompson Pass where we will also spend the night on our way out. It is always lovely to drive through the beautiful Keystone Canyon and see the many waterf...

There is so much we want to experience in Valdez, Alaska. It will take this second trip and even another trip as things happen at different times.

An amazing experience in Fairbanks is the Riverboat Discovery adventure. We rode in an actual paddle wheel boat down the river. Part of the adventure include seeing a float plane land and take off right beside the boat. Our boat stopped at a sled dog kennel, and we heard their story. Most exciting was a native village where we got off and were taught a lot of things by first nation people. Ther...

We left Dawson City, Yukon Canada and came back to Alaska. After driving through Chicken, Alaska again, we took the road to Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, which is managed by the National Parks Service and the Bureau of Land Management. This road is a 66 mile each way of dirt and gravel, after driving the Dalton and Dempster highways we were used to this. The site was worth the visit p...

Dawson City, like many old western towns in the US, has its own charm. It is a beautiful city and worth spending some time there instead of just driving through.

In this video we leave Tuktoyaktuk and drive over 600 miles of gravel road to get back to Dawson City, Yukon.

We make it up the Dempster Highway to Tuktoyaktuk, NT Canada, first going through the Yukon Territory. We board and exit two more ferries provided by the Canada government. Again, we cross the Arctic Circle, then drive through the lovely town of Inuvik in the Northwestern Territories of Canada. Before finding a place to sleep for a while we stay up past 2:00 am to watch the sun not set, this on...

In this video we make it back through Tok, Alaska where we take Alaska-5 for the first time. This road take us through Chicken, Alaska and to Alaska's northern most border crossing. We continue on the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, Yukon in Canada. We only did a drive through at this time and this video stops at the Dempster Highway sign.
