Alaska

[YurytheRed]

Has anyone done an Alaskan trip, cruise etc. In my "youth" I biked a great deal of this country ( I'll take the Rockies over the Alps anytime ) but have never been to Alaska. Thinking of a summer trip before the kid heads away for his bout with higher education.

Awesome. That's what I say about a trip there...Awesome

My wife and I did a week long Cruise from British Columbia to  Seward Alaska. Then had a rental car for a week and stayed a couple B&B. The scenery is amazing. Best trip we have ever done. Oh coarse I had to get a Halibut trip in while there too. We said it would be a once in a life time trip but we want to go back again sooner or later. I will post some pictures for you.

When my wife and I were in Alaska the one animal we never saw was a bear . We weren't hunting but you know I looked for them.

I've been from Fairbanks north into the Brooks Range. Probably no where near where your looking to go. I'll be hunting in the Talkeetna mountains next year.

I went to alaska for two weeks and did one week of DIY fly-in fishing float trip for king salmon, trout etc..  the other week was spent on the kenai peninsula fishing the kenai and russian rivers and seward.  Cruise is probably great but to me a cruise to alaska is like bringing a kid to a playground and only letting him look through the fence.  I'd fly up there and then do some trips while you are there.  You can do some DIY to save money and some with guides.  If interested in a trip like that id be happy to help.

Very kind thank you. My wife desires "luxury" and a cruise seems my destiny. Her idea of fishing is selecting from the frozen food isle. I agree with you 100%, the best way is more of an independent trip.  Thanks

Wife and I honeymooned in Alaska. Stayed in Anchorage one night and ate the biggest King crab legs I ever had, then flew down to Kodiak Island and stayed at a bed and breakfast for one night before flying down in a float plane to the interior just off Karluck bay and Amook island to stay at a remote cabin. Muncies bear camp was not too far. We caught and ate flounder and salmon from the Shelikov straight, tracked a Grizzly and even got some video of him. Eagles and Sitka deer everywhere. Later we flew out to Seldovia and stayed there a few nights doing some hiking around the area. Awesome adventure.

Great shots. Thanks for posting. You my friend have a keeper ( not the fish!) My bride would hike any mountain but when it comes to food if it is not frozen, packaged, served or pre-cooked it's not happening.

Yes she is. My wife love to go on cruises so "happy wife,,,,happy life"

I would rather do all the other stuff hunting and fishing but I have to keep her happy too. Any place we go on a cruise or vacation I will be doing some fishing no matter what. Next time I want to do more fishing there. By the way she caught the biggest Halibut .  I did a little fishing in the Kenai River. Caught trout
