Between the glaciers, the wildlife, and its sheer size, Alaska is an overwhelming and truly awesome place that you need to visit.
Alaska is a destination that is often put on the bucket list for retirement. I would argue that you should move Alaska up on your list—and then go back for a cruise when you are at retirement age.and I knew in my mind that Alaska was big, but everything there is massive. It’s like standing by the ocean: you can see part of it stretching out in front of you, beyond where you can see, and feel awed by its size.
Also the rooms have balconies so you can sit outside with your coffee and enjoy the surroundings in peace and quiet, and because the sun is almost always up in the summer, there is almost always something to see.We were able to hike the Exit Glacier, which gets its name because it is exiting the land and moving to the ocean. It’s incredible to see how quickly the glacier has moved over the past 100 years.
One thing I did not expect was that the glacier is so blue. I honestly thought they were white or maybe gray. So seeing the blue ice in the water and blue hues of the glacier itself gave me definite Elsa vibes.
