The Nation’s Vacation Ambassadors


We made it to Seattle on time and then hopped on a flight to Alaska to begin our expedition as the The Nation’s Vacation: Why I Heart The Parks Ambassadors. 

What is The Nation’s Vacation?

Nation’s Vacation Expedition

The first leg of our first expedition took us out to Denali Park Village in Denali National Park and Preserve and Glacier Bay Lodge and Tours in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

While in Denali National Park and Glacier Bay National Park we tasted as much of the food as possible, got out to experience as many of the best things to do as possible and got you some inside information on the best places to stay. 

We’ll have our trip reports as soon as possible after we visit. Stay tuned!
