Thread: Alaska

I've not been on an Alaska cruise but here are a couple of suggestins.

In Juneau he should see Mendenhall Glacier at the edge of town. There's an interesting visitor's center with a short film and a couple of hiking trails to get you up close. Also in Juneau is the Mt. Robert's tram to the top of Mt. Roberts. It needs to be a clear day though. If it is he will get great views of Juneau. Great visitor's center, restaurant, don't miss the short documentery in the theater, several hiking trails.

When he gets to Anchorage he should take a side trip to Denali to see the wildlife and the mountain.

I know its not much but I hope it helps.

Randy,
I forwarded your post to my Father. He is now talking about driving to Alaska from Michigan. Keep me in mind if you see anything else about our most northern state.

Driving would be excellent - IF he has a lot of time. The AlCan hwy is a great road. I would recommend that he carry a cell phone and be a member of AAA. Not that he would break down but it's a long, long road and services are few and far between. There's not much traffic either, although during the summer there's probably lots of motorhome traffic. Joey's father drove this road many, many times.

If they plan to take the TransCan hwy, and are heading through Calgary, be sure to have him look me up...

Just talked to my Father. He is firming up his plans and it looks like he will start driving out your way the second week of May. As I get more details I will email you. Hope your email is the same if now send me a message. Mine has not changed since your visit to Pensacola.

Thanks!

I don't know that it is. How do I send you a private email with this system?

Mkin,
Check private topics.
Thanks in advance!
