Flying Above the Glaciers in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska

Glacier flightseeing, Wrangel St. Elias National Park, Alaska

If you do one thing while visiting Alaska, it MUST be soaring through the mountains and above the glaciers that cover so much of the vast expanse of the state.  It is one of my favorite things that we have ever done. And if you really want my opinion, you should do this in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the country’s largest national park, my personal favorite national park, and one that pretty much nobody I’ve chatted with has ever heard of.

Sea Kayaking in Aialik Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

Kayaking Aialik Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska

Kayaking amongst the glaciers, icebergs and wildlife in Aialik Bay, Kenai Fjords National Park has been one of my favorites on a trip full of truly magnificent experiences.  It was a long weekend filled with breaching whales, thunderous calving tidewater glaciers, curious seals, fun conversation and (perhaps most thrilling to me) lots of new knowledge about glaciers and Alaska.
