My Alaskan Birding and Bird Watching festival Links

On a recent trip to Florida, I discovered birdwatching. I always knew there were a strange group of Birders in Alaska, because of the migrating birds here and all of the sea and shore birds.

Alaska Cruise Lines- a special primer for Alaskan cruises

http://www.alaskagold.com/cruise.html Alaska to many people means "Alaskan Cruise". It's got to be one of the most popular ways to visit Alaska. I have to admit - I used to think that cruises didn't really show the "Real" Alaska. People only sail in and spend a few hours walking around Sitka or Vald...

Seward, Alaska!

Hey and Welcome AkRaider! Seward is a neat little town. It's known for the Alaska Sea Life Center Aquarium and Kenai Fjords National Park. I've visited there a few times. Once to go on a Glacier Wildlife tour and once again for the Mountain Marathon on the the Fourth of July. Both trips were great. ...

Alaska is a land of extremes – the biggest, coldest, windiest, wildest.

Stories about the extremes of Alaska. The first story is about a guy who finds a body on the Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau, AK.

Camp Alaska Van Tours

Our concept of a camping tour has become very popular since we began operating these tours in 1985. Quite simply, after a day's travel we check into a campground instead of a hotel. Alaska is a beautiful place to camp. Hotels are extremely expensive. It makes perfect sense. Group size is limited to...

Flightseeing in Alaska

Flightseeing is a airplane tour around the spectaular sights of Alaska. It really is the best way to see the grand scale of the Alaskan scenery. You can take a helicopter or a small plane. I like the small planes better because helicopters make me sick to my stomach - well, so do planes but not as b...
