We watched 4 bears and a deer on this hillside one morning.

It was just as I feared, the whirlwind trip just wetted the appetite and we have to go back for more. Darn the bad luck!

Here's a shot of one of my favorite spots in PWS: Need ice for the fish box & cooler? Another iceburg shot: Whiskey sour on glacier ice: A blacktail deer out for a swim:

Wow... that made me laugh, and everyone is wondering what I'm laughing at now. Pretty much guaranteed that I spilled a beer within 30 seconds of that picture being taken.
I have not 'Bender Jr, but I've heard some stories...
MT, I was wrong... the picture I was thinking of was a moon, not a bird.

Again, BC, the NWT, and Alaska have more view property than a person could see in 5 life times. If I could do life over again, I'd be up there. Great pics everyone,

If a guy was wanting to go see Alaska but avoid tourist towns where would be the best place to start looking?
Thanks in advance scott

Thanks in advance scott For a DIY trip, hard to beat flying into Anchorage, Driving North up the parks highway to Fairbanks, then head S down the alcan to glennallen, keep going all the way to Valdez. Put your vehicle on the ferry, take it to Seward. Drive from Seward to Homer, then from Homer back to Anchorage. You'll see alot of Alaska, from coastal rainforest, moutain ranges, tundra and everything in between. Plenty of opportunities for world class freshwater and saltwater fishing. Seeing Alaska has nothing to do with towns, whether big, small or touresty.

458, that is a pretty good tip! I've never though about incorporating the ferry.
BTW, the drive from Glennallen to Valdez in my opinion, is one of, if not the most, scenic drives in Alaska.

The nice thing about that path is you get to boat through PWS, hence getting a feel for SE type terrain. I've never taken the ferry that route, but have boated the waters and flown over them enough to know it would be a good way to go.
The drive from Anchorage to Seward isn't too shabby, even after 17 years I still enjoy it.
