Well we're loving our Alaskan visit. But the Portage Valley Rd to Whitter is fantastic. The glaciers and views are fantastic.
Whatever you do drive down to Whittier. The Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center is well worth several hours and it's in the tour saver book. The Interperter Center is also great, low cost or free for us.
We stayed at the Portage Valley RV Park (pricey at $39) but we got so much information from the manager that we're going back. SIL is arriving next Tues and believe it or not the manager is going to loan us fishing equipment and probably go with us across the road to the river next Tues. The sockeye will be running by then. Plus he'll freeze the catch for my SIL for a week until he can stop by and pick it up on his return trip with the family to fly out of Anchorage.
Where might I ask have you ever heard of a CG offering this? Did I mention that they have a community cook house with a fire and BBQ as part of the service? I'd go there again in a heartbeat. In fact we're going to meet our daughter and family there when they get in to Anchorage.
