Alaska Is...  

        Alaska is the beauty, wonder, and mystery. The beauty of wildflowers and the snow-capped mountains in the background. The wonder of the different scenery that Alaska holds. Snow-capped mountains in one place, and rounded in others. Sand above the tree line, and deep, temped forest in others. The mystery is the changing energy, never the same weather or scenery. I donít think you could ever have the same trip every time in Alaska if you just sit, listen, and look at the greatness that is Alaska.

Final Reflections

I’ve been on this trip 9 times, but that doesn’t mean I’ve seen it all. Every year is always unique because of the different group. There are those who like the outdoors and those who aren’t outdoors people. To see them grow from strangers to one big family is one of the greatest parts of this trip. The experience this trip offers will hopefully change everyone whether they’re 8th graders or adult drivers. You take back something that just can’t be described. It can only be seen with your eyes. Though Alaska is great, the greatest part is the company that you share it with. The bonds you make are what makes this the greatest trip to take to Alaska.
