David in Dallas Loc: Dallas, Texas, USA

Talkeetna, Alaska

I have been to Alaska 3 times, in 2007, 2014, and 2021. All 3 tours visited the little town of Talkeetna, which is more or less in the “foothills” of Denali (aka Mount McKinley). Near the town one can take a jet boat trip on the Susitna River, which offers views of a replicated trapper camp.
I will use some photos from all three visits in this Set.
