An Experience Like No Other: Talkeetna Air’s Grand Denali Tour with Glacier Landing

10/9/2023

A dream of a lifetime came to fruition in July when I made my way from the east coast to the west, and no I don’t mean California. I finally made it to Alaska, the last frontier, and everything was astounding. The wildlife was everywhere, the humanity was quite limited overall thankfully, and the views were out of this world in each and every place I explored. I started in Anchorage as most do, toured around Kenai peninsula, loved Kenai Fjords National Park by far the most, then I headed north to Denali before going east to Wrangell-St. Elias, and finished with a riveting cruise out of Valdez.

Last month I had the unbelievable opportunity to visit Alaska for the first time, and it was well beyond what I imagined it would be. It’s so beautiful, rugged, wild, mystical and magical, and I loved every moment exploring the wilderness, the mountains, the fjords, rivers, and parks. I arrived off the plane, gathered my luggage and set out in a rental car. My first stop was the Turnagain Arm before heading to my accommodation on Kenai Peninsula. The summer light was long, allowing for a mere 3 hours of night, but it really wasn’t all that dark, so I took advantage of as much sightseeing as my tired eyes could handle. From there, I spent the next couple of days exploring Seward and Homer, taking two cruises through the fjords, which was definitely the highlight of the entire trip.

Alaska has been at the top of my destination wish list for as long as I can remember. I always thought perhaps I’d never make it there, because it was a little far, rather expensive to plan a trip, and the possibility of it being too wild and dangerous for me. But over the past year, the stars aligned due to several differing factors and situations. After nearly an entire year of planning, I found myself exploring the Last Frontier with my father-in-law Ken.

It was a long time coming. For ages, I dreamt of going to Alaska. There was something about the allure of the “Last Frontier,” the wildness, the beauty, the unspoiled natural splendor. Yet, the winters sounded rough, and the distance was always too great to drive to. This year, 2023, the stars aligned and I had the opportunity to visit, touring from Anchorage to Kenai Peninsula, then north to Denali, east to Tok, south to Wrangell-St. Elias range, down to Valdez, then back to Anchorage. What a wondrous trip, it was!

Attraction Feature - Mt. Rainier via Crystal Mountain Gondola

As a nature lover and photographer, I can’t get enough of a beautiful scene, especially if it involves a gorgeous snow-capped mountain, and even more so if the mountain is known for being an active volcano patiently waiting to blast a fiery blanket of ash into the sky. For decades, I had dreamt of exploring the old growth forests of Washington, with the massive trees reaching skyward, air plants hanging from every branch, and blankets of moss littered with fungi. Being from Ohio, we have some lovely forests, but they’re all young growth due to human’s clearcutting everything. I often remarked that the trees in Ohio are simply toddler trees, so I yearned to experience natural areas which remained undisturbed by human presence. There are so few now-a-days.
