Alaska Is

            Alaska is a world filled to the top with wonder, beauty, and might.
            Alaska isn’t just views. It isn’t just the cars willed with people trying to take a picture. It isn’t postcards of one mountain or an animal to send to your relatives. It isn’t tour busses or cruise ships with tourists thinking they’ve seen Alaska.
            Alaska is a place that no picture could ever justify the beauty that radiates from every tree, every flower, every bush, every moose, every bear, every beaver, every butterfly, every rushing river, every ever-still lake, every bird, every cloud, every mountain, every breath of Alaska.
            Alaska is incredible, unbelievable, shocking, as if unlocking a new world, mysterious, always making me curious.

Final Reflections

This year out trip to Alaska is and will always be memorable. I’ve had so much fun here. Some of my favorite things form this trip would be Hatcher Pass, the midnight sun baseball game, and climbing all the mountains. There are so many things from Hatcher Pass that I will remember. One of them is when I was dunking my head in the river. The first time my face got a little wet but the second time I feel in the river! Climbing the mountain and the gold panning were also fun! What ill remember from he midnight sun baseball game is cheering the Panners to their victory. Climbing the mountains, the butte, Mt. Healy, Exit Glacier, and one of the mountains in Hatcher Pass , ill remember because I learned to support other and to work together so everyone can experience the unbelievable views at the top. This trip will be one that I will never forget!
