Alaska is beautiful. It is hard to describe how beautiful some of the views were! There is no greater feeling than being at the top of a mountain and being able to see for miles without laying eyes on anything man made.
We did so many fun things on our expedition! We took a boat ride and got to see a glacier up close and saw puffins, whales, and sea lions. We also went whitewater rafting which was really fun and surprisingly not too cold! Our group went ice climbing which is so cool because is it not an activity you can do anywhere else. We visited a wildlife center and got to see bears and other animals up close, we even met sled dogs!
The friendships I made on this expedition were definitely a great part of the trip. I will cherish the memories I made in Alaska for the rest of my life. There is no better place to see God than in the beautiful wilderness surrounded by his creation. The Alaska Teen Expedition was great experience, and I definitely recommend that you go on this trip if you are given the opportunity!
