Been to Alaska twice. Once with son for an archery moose hunt--got cut short cuz of 9/11
(no private aircraft to fly) and once with the wife for a very pleasant get-a-way...stayed at a remote bed and breakfast just outside of Sedona/Sterling with a rented car from the Anchorage airport--traveled around quite a bit of lower Alaska.
Note:
Tried to book a whole or half-day charter fishing trip for halibut/cod, but they were all booked. Need to book in advance.
Both trips where great, and I'd do them again in a heartbeat!
