Alaska Is:
         Alaska is most likely a once in a lifetime chance for me, because never again will I get to go to Alaska with a group of around 78 people, and get to know mostly all of them as friends. That is why I cherish every moment that I can while I’m here.

Final Reflection:
        Over my time in Alaska I’ve climbed mountains and across rivers, I’ve seen giant glaciers, mountains, and even bears bigger than Crapo. The animals are amazing: huge moose and playful sea otters. But that barely describes the trip, there’s so much more to it like how you can bond with people you barely knew, like the junior leaders. The maturity level with people changes so much it’s amazing, you get a taste of life without your parents. By becoming part of this trip I got to experience things most people never experience in a lifetime.
