Walter and Sara Let the good times roll
Our trip to Alaska in 2012 was the trip of a lifetime. We spent 8 weeks driving from Monroe, WA up through Canada to catch the ferry in Prince Rupert. Then we spent 2 1/2 weeks exploring the Inside Passage before continuing on from Haines, AK up to the Alaskan Interior for 3 weeks and then taking a leisuring drive down through the Yukon and BC back home.

Sara kept a daily blog that covers all the gory details of where we stayed and everything we did. To see a sample of the over 4,200 photos we took, explore the photo journal listed below on the right.

I've created a few specialty pages too. Wildflowers, Wildlife and Alaska by the numbers.
