Me in 2003, looking glamperous in Alaska.An acquaintance of mine just came back from an Alaskan cruise, which got me feelling nostalgic about the two weeks I spent there in 2003 on a camping tour. I suppose it's the closest I've come to "glamping", since it was a guided trip and not much hard work. We stayed at campgrounds and travelled from place to place in a van. But that was the only way to see a wide range of Alaskan scenery in a limited amount of time, so I have no regrets about not doing it "hard core."
This trip predates my switch to digital photography (yes, I was a late bloomer) but I did scan a few pics, so I thought I'd share them here:
A perfect mirror lake in southern Alaska
Our campsite in Valdez, next to a waterfall.
Me with our guide, Jay, at the top of a short hike.

The top of Mt. McKinley (Denali) from the scenic flight I took. We saw a few climbers on the summit as we flew past.

Even though most things were taken care of for you, I wouldn't call it "glamping" if you had to sleep in a Eureka Timberline.
lol! I'm just glad I didn't have to carry the tent. I guess that wasn't 5-star glamping. Maybe 2-star - like the Holiday Inn of glamping ;o)
Alaska is a wonderful place. In Alaska you can see northern lights and you can enjoy so many adventures. So plan Northern lights vacation alaska now.
