PLEASE comment! :)

I love the north!!! But only know the European one and the North American is just amazing... :eek2:

You've seen nothing yet...

Awesome tour!

Next stop was Palmer:
Cosy little town, ressembling Montana or Idaho:
http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/6377/alaska21658hl.jpg

Only a night stop, however, our journey took us further south to the lovely town of Sewrard on the Kenai Peninsula. On the way there we followed the Turnagain arm, an impressive sea arm that runs dry during low tide:

A whole day spent inside Denali NP, watching and photographing wildlife and scenery. What's better than that? (Well, perhaps Krüger NP is just as good...)

On to Fairbanks.

Esther, a small mining town:

Fairbanks itself is nothing really to write home about:

However, they have a decent outside exhibition:

And on we go, back to Tok:

After a night stop, we leave the US towwards Dawson City. A ride of several hundred kms, the largest part of which without a concrete road:
Still in the US:

Anybody at home?

We didn't have enough time to do all of it but we started Dempster Highway that leads all the way up to Inuvik on the Polar Sea:

This is the end. Hopefully you had some nice minutes. Please tell me what you think! :cheers:

I'll go there! For sure ...!!!

Wie viele Kilometer habt ihr dort insgesamt gemacht?

Etwas über 4000. For sure, dort musst du hin! Es ist einfach unfassbar schön!

Fantastic! I took my atlas and followed your journey, amazing trip! I love the north and this was really great!

Yukon and southeastern Alaska are my favourite

Great to see you guys like it! :-)

^^ yeah, of course! Last summer I was in northern Europe and it is very similar so I could compare a lot :D

Great to see you guys like it! :-) You'll get some more pretty soon, I promise.

..

... and it's still great to watch them :drool:

Wow, wunderschöne Bilder! :D

Must have been a hell of a trip. This year I went to Europe and, for FINANCIAL reasons, I got to jump from city to city by plane, but in my next trips I definetly want to rent a car and drive around. The Northern North America scenery looks gorgeous! :cool:

Breathtaking! I love Alaska and I love seeing pics from Alaska, please show more of them in this thread!

Wow. Great! :cool:

AWSOME ! Love wild nature..... :)

amazing

amazing stuff, thanx... North America has so much to offer nature wise...

Sehr schön, danke! It's so vast and beautiful, looks really peaceful. :)

thats some great stuff you got there! I first though alaska was boring but I see there is a lot more to do than play in the snow!

Breathtaking! :eek2:


So, this is you? :Dhttp://img157.imageshack.us/img157/3175/alaska25553im.jpg

Anyway, apart from the nature, which leaves me wordless, it always amazes me to see all those cozy cottages, a complete contrary to the usual impersonal architecture in the US!

Love Alaska

Fantastic landscapes..............can't say the same about the architecture, but I doubt you went there to see that (plus it could be worse) :D

seriously amazing photos...
that scene with the mountains covered with snow...just superb...it reminded me of goodies dipped in yogurt..

I envy you, David.

Incredible!

Ah, to go to Alaska (or Yukon, or NWT...)...

Quite a late reply, but I do not know what kind of architecture in the US is "impersonal"?
