Highlights of Our Alaska
Tours
(Click thumbprint to see larger picture)
"One of the best ways to
get around in Alaska! We spent an afternoon with a dog sled team that showed
us some remote areas north of Anchorage." |
"This is the other
best way to get around Alaska! Snowmobiling really gives you a feeling of
freedom and control, even if I only had the nerve to go 20 mph." |
"We're standing on a glacier
on Mt. McKinley at an altitude of 6,000 feet...behind us is the peak of McKinley
at 20,300!" |
"This is the plane we took
on our tour of Mt. McKinley...many times, the summit of this great mountain
is not visible because of cloud cover at such a high altitude, but the day
we chose couldn't have been any better!" |
On a recent trip in June 1997. We were
there for the Special Olympics Summer Games in Anchorage. We'd like to thank
Jim Balamaci for all his efforts in arranging everything. We couldn't go
to Alaska without at least visiting Portage Glacier. |

(Feb. 25 - March 8, 1998)
As many of you know, Maria's love for Alaska has grown
and so have her opportunities to travel there. We've just returned from an
11 day trip for Alaska Special Olympics. We also
got to see the start of the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, International Ice Carving
Competition, and many other events in the beautiful city of Anchorage.
