I took an inland cruise of Alaska several years ago and it was my 2nd favorite trip of all I have taken. Anchorage, Glaciers and helicopter ride (scary but wonderful), kayaking, great food, shopping, Midnight Sun Train to Denali National Parkwhere we spent two nights and then on to Fairbanks. Great photos of all the great animals, mama bear and two babies were adorable, followed the bus for ages. I was there for 10 days from the end of May and 1st week of June. Weather was perfect. No mosquitos at Denali, was told in a couple of weeks they would be horrible. As I said this was my 2nd favorite trip - no. 1 had to be Israel!
