Not sure why my favorite Alaska trips start with “K”, but that’s the way it is! Check the video for Kodiak, Kennicott and Katmai!!

It’s hard to discern an “all star” list of must-do or must-see adventures in Alaska’s National Parks this summer, but I’m gonna give it a shot. Here’s the punchline, tho’: every single one of these must-see items is 2-for-1 ONLY when you have a copy of the Great Alaskan TourSaver (available online for $99.95):

Here’s a shot of me “on assignment” on the Ruth Glacier with my point-n-shoot camera. On the left is my sister-in-law, Kim. She cannot believe I’m actually “working”. HA.

10. Lake Clark National Park. Take the Turquoise to Twin Traverse with Alaska Alpine Adventures. Not only is the park a stunning slice of wilderness…Alaska Alpine Adventures is a nationally-recognized tour company. They really do a great job. Your adventure includes air fare from Anchorage, meals, accommodations and activities. Watch for wildlife, fish, explore, hike–this is an incredible trip. 2-fo-1 with the TourSaver coupon.

9. New lodge in Kenai Fjords National Park. Join Alaska Wildland Adventures in their all-new lodge near Aialik Glacier. Your trip starts with a glacier cruise. Then, you can kayak, hike, explore to your heart’s content in this incredible park. Meals, activities, accommodations and your boat tour are included. Wow.2-for-1 with the TourSaver book. Feeling crabby? Plenty of company at the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward. Check this photo below. It’s a MUST-SEE prior to or following your Kenai Fjords National Park adventure.

8. Glacier Hike in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. This is the nation’s largest national park. St. Elias Guides takes you on a glacier hike right in the heart of it. (more…)

Between now and May 31, prices are as low as $99 per night at McKinley Princess (near Talkeetna), Copper River Princess (just south of Glennallen) and the Kenai Princess in Cooper Landing. These are great prices! 

The Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge is the closest lodge to the mountain. In fact, Denali fills up the entire northwestern horizon from the hotel! The new restaurant, “20,320″ offers hearty fare and there is a bundle of optional activities, including:

a. Flightseeing of Mt. McKinley. Check the photo below!

b. Jeep Safaris

c. Jetboat tours with Mahay’s Riverboat Service
