It’s a Hull of an Adventure

Subscribe for More! Juneau, Alaska Last updated: July 15, 2020 Did "Juneau" the capital of Alaska is Juneau? I'm sure you've all heard that joke, but I couldn't resist. Juneau, Alaska. I wish I could have spent more time here. It was AMAZING! Since I was on a cruise, I only had about five hours to spend here. My mom had wanted us to go see Mendenhall Glacier, so we decided we would. The only thing bad about it, the glacier is clear across town! And we choose to take the bus. *To all of you going to Juneau, please do not take the bus, take a cab!* Mendenhall Glacier Pros to Taking the Bus: I was able to see more of Juneau than I would have in a cab More space to sit Cons to Taking the Bus: We had to walk a mile and a half to still get to the glacier (A cab would have taken us all the way there) A cab is more direct than a bus. While on the bus we had to go the bus route.  The cab was able to pick us ...

Since we had to drive around a bay to get to the other peninsula, it took us around two hours to arrive in Seward. The trip to Seward was very scenic. You have to go around the bay, which is famous for Alaska's mud fields. We saw some Dal Sheep on the way there, and we stopped and took some pictures. When we were traveling on this road, they had road work going on. Since there is only one road from Anchorage to Seward, it caused a few delays. These were some of the pictures of the Bay. Seward In Seward there is really only one restaurant open during the offseason, called the "The Breeze Inn".  I had their French Toast, and I highly recommend it! In town, there is a memorial in honor of the biggest earthquake in Alaska in 1964 that ki...

Subscribe for More! Anchorage, Alaska Last updated: July 15, 2020 Layover in Anchorage All the flowers were in full bloom because of the "Midnight Sun" effect. They had 18 hours of sunlight. While heading off to our cruise, we had a layover in Anchorage, Alaska for a day till we could get on the boat.  With us being us, there was no way that with us being in Alaska for a day that we wouldn't take advantage of the amazing opportunities!  To Start Off  To Start off, I would recommend going to the Information Center on 4th Ave. and F Street. This is the location from where the trolleys leave from, and where most of the cool things that you want to see are, such as the museum, and shops. They also gave away free stickers and postcards. They also gave my brother and sister free buttons with a moose on them and a moose that you could talk pictures with, like a Flat Stanley. They also had postcards that you could wri...

To get to the trailhead, you have to go up Blacksmith Fork Canyon till you come across the Left Fork canyon sign. You will then need to turn left and continue till you reach Friendship Camp, about ten miles from the turnoff. (Note: it is a gravel road up Left Fork Canyon) There will be a sign reading, Richard's Hollow Trail around Friendship Camp.  There are bathrooms and parking available.       From the Parking Area, you can continue to the trailhead sign, and start up the trail. Watch for pretty wildflowers and keep a lookout for snakes! We had hikers warn us about a rattlesnake that they had seen,  bu...
