When we head up to Alaska, it will be my fourth trip to the 49th State, and Hanna’s second. I always find that my trips are more satisfying if I set up some attainable goals, while leaving my mind open to the possibility of being wowed by something completely unexpected. That’s highly likely on this trip, where the extraordinary could happen every day.

We are headed back to the most amazing part of the United States in the middle of August to chase trout, salmon, bears and halibut. If you have not been, it’s a MUST for the avid angler or wildlife-watcher.
