National Geographic Destinations, We’ve captured them too!
We thought it would be fun for this Photo Story Friday to compare some of our photo's to those of National Geographic. We tried to choose photo's that were places we had been before and had a similar subject matter. In doing this it was a great learning experience.
Alaska’s Denali National Park, Pioneer in Conservation
Taking part in the Follow Me At Sea Press Trip presented by Princess Cruises, we had access to every tour and excursion that anyone could imagine taking part in. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity to take part in dream adventures such as flights over Mount McKinley, Helicopter rides over the Juneau Ice Field and racing through the inside passage of the Tongass National Forest, but we also had the chance to learn about the history of America's most exciting state. One of the most informative and interesting trips that we took was a bus ride through Denali National Park.
