ALASKA IS UNIQUE. AND BIG!
Like Visiting Another Country
By Bill Moniz, World Traveler
My wife and I have been to Southeastern Alaska, so we decided to see the roads less traveled.
Alaska is big featuring midnight sun, vast open spaces, snow capped mountains, dirt highways, grizzly bears, swarms of mosquitos and
flies, fjords and glaciers.
Other highlights include the Alaska pipeline, the Yukon River and old gold mining towns,

the Arctic circle and Denali Park with the highest mountain in North America at 20,343 feet.
