August in Alaska (Part 1)

Hello Everyone! I am slowly but surely making my way through my Alaska photos. I have one more set to get through which I hope to look at this week. The photos in this post come from another tour I led to Denali and Seward, a personal adventure to Homer and to look for the old Russian Orthodox churches in the Kenai Peninsula and a few others which I took along the way. Meanwhile, I am back in California about to run my last trip of the season. I’ll be heading home to D.C. for a while after that and I will definitely be getting some work done from home. Expect plenty more photos in the near future and then I really hope to be back to blogging and taking photos full-time in early 2025. Thank you for reading and I’ll be back really soon.

-Mike

July in Alaska

Hello Everyone! It has been a heck of a summer in Alaska, the first I’ve spent in The Last Frontier since the pandemic. I’ve been crazy busy running camping tours so I haven’t had any time to get to these photos at all, but now that I’m back in the Lower 48 I hope to get through them so I can share them with you. This next batch comes from my July tour - an Alaska Wilderness and Wildlife camping adventure which I ran for Exodus Travels. It was really a wonderful trip and I even had an old friend join me who went on tour with me many years ago. We had a nice journey to Denali National Park and had some crystal clear views of the continent’s tallest mountain - something only 30% of visitors to the park get to see at all. From there we headed down to beautiful Seward, one of my favorite little towns in the country. We had a nice boat tour out into Kenai Fjords National Park to spot whales and sea lions, puffins and eagles and so much more. And then we lucked into another clear and sunny day to hike to the Harding Icefields in the inland portion of the park. We rounded out the tour with some rafting on the Kenai River, a little gold panning and a few pleasant if lesser-known hikes in the Cooper Landing area...
