"Picture this... a cool breeze blowing the tree tops as we enter a snow-filled meadow. It is late Spring and the glacial snows have begun to melt. We glance up to witness what my nephew Tim once descriped as the gateway to heaven. We are forty miles from the base of Mount McKinley - snow covered and yet so inviting the group decides to spend the night there. We set up the tents, grab our dinner and sit back and watch as the northern lights flow around the mountain top. This has to be heaven!"

"Each bend of the road opened up new and exciting vistas just waiting for us to explore. The beauty of this guided trip was its flexibility to allow us to see the REAL Alaska...to meet the locals, to shop the backcountry and taste what Alaska is truly all about. Your eyes will open and your camera will not stop flashing until you board again on the plane at the end of the trip. This trip was a five-star adventure."
