We took a trolley ride and went to Vancouver Island, Victoria to experience the Butchart
Gardens.

















TheGardens are truly amazing.








Worth seeing even through it took us 3 hours to get there and three hours to return.

III. Vancouver to Anchorage via plane, then by coach to Lodge.


Mt McKinley is the highest mountain on the North America continent. The summit is
20,320 feet high. Permanent snow fields cover more than 75% of the mountain. To see the
mountain is a difficulty feet. Most of the times it is covered in clouds and fog. It is only
visible at times and it is only 18 % of the time visible. Needless to say, I never say the
entire mountain.

and one ribbon road to see caribou, bear, wolves, Dali sheep and moose.
