Best places and activities in Alaska?
Three of us are planning to go to Alaska this August for 2-3 weeks. We are thinking of taking Ground tour north from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay plus fly to Barrow. Sounds an adventure, but very expensive. Worthy to go? Also we think of going to Kenai and Denali National Park. These two parks are so big. What are the best parts we shouldn’t miss? Should we rent a car to drive from Anchorage to Fairbanks? Thanks for any helps!
Best activities in Alaska like:
1) Take a boat tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park
2) Visit the Alaska Sealife Center
3) Hike to Exit Glacier
4) Fish for halibut or salmon
5) Try your hand at sea kayaking
6) Dogsled rides with veterans of the Iditarod
7) Visit the new Native Heritage Center
Flightseeing by helicopter or fixed wing aircraft
9) Beachcombing
