Travel Inspiration

For their 30th anniversary, Dan and Wendy skipped the cruisetour and did Alaska their own way: a self-drive to Talkeetna and Denali, a glacier landing over the Alaska Range, the Coastal Classic train to Seward, and a 7-night Princess cruise through Glacier Bay. Bears, salmon runs, and humpbacks up close in Juneau. Here's their full two-week itinerary and what it can teach you about planning your own Alaska trip.
