Trip to Alaska 2001

In 2001 I took a trip with Explore Worldwide to visit Alaska. Highlights included a visit to Denali NP to see the wildlife. Kayaking in Valdez to see the Glacier collapsing. Walking with crampons on the Kennicott Glacier and dog sledding. Photos were re-scanned November 2017 to take advantage of improved technology.
