Notes from the road
Alaska & Iceland
Just back from Alaska, a wild and wonderful destination that beckons active travellers with its glaciers, fjords, mountains, and pristine nature. Here, as we’ve discovered, America’s northernmost state has a very short window of “good” weather, however, and very limited higher-end accommodations, so it’s best to start planning now for hiking and paddling adventures this coming summer with your family and friends. Be in touch to let us help you get a leg up on bookings. The similarly short summer season in Iceland is in great demand, too.
