Alaska

Portage glacier is really cool. You should take the train over Hurricane Gulch if you have the chance. The train ride is well worth the money and time. It allows you to see a lot of Alaska's beautiful landscape.

have you been to india? its a vibrant place.. how was alaska?

I have never been.. i would love to go there.

I was born in Anchorage and really love Alaska. I miss it terribly. I have been gone for about 22 years now. So much has changed. I would definitly recommend seeing Portage Glacier. Also a trip to Homer, and Kodiak Island. What did you do or see when you were there before? It will give me a better idea of some other things to suggest.

I spent three weeks in Alaska a while back. We went to Denali National Park, Homer, Seward, Palmer, Anchorage, Exit Glacier, Hatcher Pass, Portage Glacier, Fairbanks and the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies along with a few daytrips to areas surrounding those I mentioned. My best suggestion would be to rent a car and do some driving. You see so many amazing things that way. When I went we camped the entire time. One morning we woke up early to a mother moose and her calves just a few feet from our tent. Talk about amazing.

never been there.

I have heard about the cruises and how they are great. You should look into that.

Oh my gosh, YES!!! I'm from Anchorage, and have lived in Alaska all of my life. I LOVE Alaska. I have been all of the country, and outside too.. and there is no place like it! :) I'm not just being biast, I swear. If you're planning on going to Alaska in the summer time.. you HAVE to visit our "many" main cities.. ha. Won't take you long, I promise. Check out Anchorage.. and all it's hooplah. It's beautiful.. but make sure you venture OUTSIDE! Homer, Seward, Kenai, Valdez.. these places are beautiful and filled with fun activities like fishing charters, whale watching charters, Glaciers, Kayaking, Camping, and endless hiking! If you're planning on heading North towards Fairbanks.. Chena Hot Springs is incredible. It's better during the winter time because of the Northern Lights, but it's still a great thing to see no matter what time you go! Take the train to Denali National Park from Anchorage and see Mt.Mckinley and the park itself. You can take a bus ride back into the park and see grizzlies, moose, eagles.. endless animals. It's GORGEOUS. I could go on forever.. I love the state with all of my heart!! :) Good luck, and have a WONDERFUL time!

Well, I live in Central Alaska, so naturally I will tell you to visit up here. It's beautiful! We have Denali national park, among many other things. So yes, if you go again, definitely vist the Fairbanks area! It's like a whole other world!

Yes go visit Fairbanks espicually in the Summer. The Midnight sun is really a trip and if you spend enought time there like a week you will start looking at clocks and wonder AM/PM and why even bother. 8-)

my daughter is there in fairbanks, and I want to see the northern lights, the animals, the zoo,and some place she told me about where you can eat all the crab and salmon you want- and its almost like a park

I live in Palmer, which is in the Mat Su Valley area. You can visit Palmer (very quaint little town where colonists first moved) we have a beautiful backdrop of mountains surrounding us! Hatcher Pass is very close, there is an old mining area where you can hike and enjoy the berries and scenery, and a lodge where you can stop for lunch. Talkeetna is another quaint little town that has great food and friendly people. You can take scenic tours out of there by airplane, continue north and head to Fairbanks the state's 2nd largest city! Lots to do there, it's actually hot in the summer too! The Kenai Peninsula is great, you can do fishing and rafting trips, continue down the road to Homer, which is a great little place to visit too! Lots of beautiful scenery and wildlife all over! I wouldn't live anywhere else...
