We are beyond excited to be fully vaccinated and traveling again! This time we’re headed to the last frontier… Alaska!
Everyone knows Alaska is massive, but how big is it?
It’s about 2½ times as big as Texas. Nineteen different states can fit inside Alaska. I know what you’re thinking… must be all the small east coast ones so let’s go with an area we’re more familiar with – the Midwest.
This wasn’t meant to be a geography lesson! It simply means we can’t see the whole state in 11 days! After a night in Anchorage we head north to Denali National Park and then south to Seward and the Kenai Peninsula. Follow along as we hope to see the Big 5 – grizzly bears, moose, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep, the midnight sun, orcas (fingers-crossed) puffins and “Jeanne from Alaska”.
