| Wrangell-St. Elias National Park - from the remote town of Chitina, drive 3 hours on a dirt road to where it ends at the Kennicott River. Cross the river in a hand-pulled tram and then walk 5-10 minutes to the town of McCarthy, which consists of little more than the lodge seen in this photo. |
|
| Denali National Park - in the large image, you can just barely make out Mount McKinley (it's about 75 miles away at this point). Reach this excellent overlook by taking a trail behind the visitor center to the Mount Healy overlook and then continuing on the ridge beyond the end of the trail. |
|
| Kenai Fjords National Park - Holgate Glacier was the destination of an all-day cruise I took at the park. The rather large tour boat in the lower left corner should give you some sense of the scale. |

| Some beautiful Yellow Skunk Cabbage seen while hiking at Mendenhall Glacier, in the Tongass National Forest just outside of Juneau. |
