We are headed to Alaska in mid June. Staying in Denali 3 nights, then back to Anchorage one night, then Seward two nights. Any suggestions for photos? In Denali, we will be at the North Face Lodge and will be hiking some. In Seward, taking an 8hr cruise, whale watching, etc. More suggestions?
Thanks....
Like others have suggested, take a bus tour into the Denali Park. There are several: some are associated with cruise lines, some with other tours, and the "green bus," where you can buy a ticket and get on and off as you please along the route and then just flag down and board the next green bus awhile later. Make sure you get a window that opens and is not jammed shut. If bears are close to the road, the driver may not let you off. The driver we had on a "Princess tour" opened the door and allowed me to sit on the steps to shoot. I was using a 55-200mm kit lens and I could have used something longer. Good luck on seeing "the mountain." If it's not out, there are plenty of others to shoot alone the way.
