I have had the joy of visiting Alaska twice so far. The first venture was with my best friends to visit my sister who was working as a ranger in Kenai Fjords National Park. Before that, we went backpacking on foot in Denali National Park. It is an absolutely unforgettable place lit by an endless arctic sun and there were Grizzly bears, one road, and no trails.

My second time visiting Alaska was a cruise with my grandmother as a kind of memorial celebration of my late grandfather who fished the inland passage on a purse seiner. On the way to Seward we got to see Glacier Bay, and then like most cruise ships we stopped in many coastal Alaskan towns to pause and go on small hikes and appreciate the lichen.
