Fall is here–and so are the deals at Alyeska Resort! Stay at the resort between now and Nov. 30. It’s just $65 per person, plus you receive a free in-room movie!

Head out to Alyeska tomorrow (Sept.5) and see a free concert at the Pond with Melissa Mitchell and Photonz. It’s a special concert, part of the “Fungus Fair“.

While you’re there, ride the tram up to the mountain and do some hiking. Have breakfast in the Pond Cafe. Explore the Winner Creek Trail and check out the hand cart that you pull across the creek.

It’s all happening at Alyeska Resort–all for just $65 per person, double occupancy! Call (907)754-1111 or check online for more details.

That’s right! I flew right over Bird Creek and saw the Subway shop at the Essentials Gas Station. It’s a glorious community, close to Bird Creek–where all those silver salmon continue to clog the stream! Get your 99c Subway FOOTLONG there!!
Buy a regular  FOOTLONG sub at menu price and receive an additional sub of equal or lesser price for only 99 cents!Not valid with any other offers or discount cards. Not valid for double meat, extra cheese, bacon or any other extras. For a limited time only. Valid at Bird Creek location only. No substitutions allowed.

I’m a creature of habit at Subway. I get the SAME thing every time: 12-inch  Club Sandwich on Italian Herb and Cheese bread. Swiss or Provolone cheese. Toast that puppy! Add lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, olives, onions, banana peppers. Throw on a dash of oil and vinegar, plus some salt and pepper. 
And we’re off! Stop in and get a GREAT deal on a sandwich as you’re driving by theESSENTIAL GAS station in Bird. Mention the Alaska Travelgram. Tell them Scott sent you!

So, the smart way to do it is to bring along a friend to buy the first Footlong Sub at regular price, then get YOURS for 99 cents! Yum! Eat Fresh! Subway!

Our friends at Denali Park Resorts have a great deal. It’s called “The Colors of Denali”. And yes, the colors are changing. Right now!

Don’t fool yourself: fall is here already. The leaves are changing. The colors are fabulous inside Denali National Park.

Your $219 package includes two nights’ accommodations, a $50 gift card for tours and/or meals at the resort and 500 Alaska Airlines miles.

Optional activities include the MUST-DO ride into the park. I recommend the long ride into the park. It’s an 8-hour ride, but s-o-o-o worth it. This is your chance to see wildlife and scenery on the 85-mile road from the entrance back to Wonder Lake.

Or, choose a thrilling raft trip on the Nenana River. You can choose a “mild” ride or a “wild” ride.

Afterwards, save room for the “Alaska Cabin Nite” dinner theater!

Don’t miss out on this seasons’ best deal for Denali vacations. Take advantage of “The Colors of Denali” today.
