These pictures are my trip to Alaska at the end of August 2006. The Alaskan coast can see 300 days of rain a year. Upon arrival Alaska had seen 3 weeks straight of rain in the Anchorage area that washed out roads and railroad track. Alaska can be depressing and extremely beautiful all the the same time. I will hope to go back there again. You can not get to the western part of the state by car. Only by boat, plane or mush it (dog sled). Some part are very much like the lower 48 others are not even close. I traveled to five parts of Alaska this trip, Seward, Homer, Girdwood, Mount McKinley and Denali. Mt. McKinley is in the southern half of the National Park and the vistor center is in the North and the tundra. Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think. Kit
