Traveing this summer
Apr 22, 2014 13:47:16 #
I want to take a 2 week trip this summer and was wondering if anyone has been to the National Park system ie Alaska or Yosenity or if they have gone by train on the Trans Canada RR. Im interested in a photo group tour. Also can anyone recommend a tour guide package leaving from NYC.
Thanks

As much as I like to promote travel in the USA, I would be doing you a disservice if I did not suggest:

We took a trip to Alaska in 2009. Took the cruise from Vancouver to Seward and the train to Anchorage. Then rented a car and spent a week traveling from Anchorage to Fairbanks checking out Denali National Park. I would take this trip again in a heartbeat if I got the chance.

Kind of depends what you like to do. Denali was really great, the only way in and out is on their green(school) buses, but that also aloows you to get off of one, do your thing and catch another one anywhere along the road. One of the greatest wildlife days of my life was at Katmai NP where there were 15 brown bears in the river at the same time all fishing for salmon. The scenery is outstanding and there is more to do than you will ever have time to cover. You might want to pick some highlights that interest you and move forward from there.

AND camping reservations sell out VERY fast, especially weekends and holidays. I am talking within minutes of tickets going on sale for eligible dates.
Years ago when I was managing a retail music store with a Ticketron booth, people would be lined up well before store opening for tickets. Maybe the first 10 people would get camping tickets.

Glacier Park is a stunning place but I don't know about tour packages. I'll bet you can Google it and find some thing.
