awash in beauty and grandeur. Encounter mighty humpback whales working
as a team to capture food as you kayak through Alaska's Inside Passage.

Highway, and bask in the awe-inspiring beauty of Denali National Park.
Accept the challenge to climb Mt. McKinley, where the temperature at the
summit can dip to ninety-five degrees below zero. Celebrate
Native-American and Russian cultures linked by ritual in Eklunta Vollage
Historical Park, and learn the fascinating origins of the "spirit
houses" the Athabaskan Indians construct for their dead. For a golf
outing that is anything but par for the course, tee up at Weeping Trout,
the world's most remote golf course. In Canada, witness how the world's
most extreme tides cause Bay of Fundy to empty itself twice a day. Meet
hundreds of polar bears that make annual visits to the town of
Churchill, Manitoba. Marvel at the Columbia Icefield, the source of
eight major glaciers, and take a dip in the soothing waters of the Banff

the breathtaking scenery of the Princess Louisa Inlet.
