All three are fabulous.....and lots of fun and valuable to explore. I love Alaska and Steve, Angie and Jill help bring it alive for me. I hope our own stories do, too, at least a little. And the photo you chose of the road towards Denali is excellent and evocative. On those clear days when the mountain is out, its scale is almost impossible to grasp. Down by Wonder Lake, near Camp Denali, the mountain mass rises about 18,000 feet directly in front of you. You see the whole thing without obstruction. I usually don't believe my eyes. One last recommendation from me, if you're interested in the issues of conservation in Alaska and want to connect with the terrific regional and local groups who are working hard to develop a sustainable future for the state, go to www.akcf.org. That's the Alaska Conservation Foundation's website, and a fine gateway to Alaska's conservation community. I'm on the board.....and urge all of us to enjoy the great land and help protect it for future generations. Thanks, Jim, for ferreting out these great sites and sources.
