2009 Trip to Alaska (with original song "Alive Today" by Sheila Kirsten Hughes Band)

Just got back from our trip to Alaska and wanted to put together a video of the photos I took up there. I took more than 600 photos, so it was really challenging to narrow them down.

If you haven't been to Alaska, I highly encourage you to make the trip up there at some point in your life. The views are absolutely breathtaking. It's the most beautiful land I've ever seen.

Our trip began in Fairbanks, then we continued on to Denali National Park, Talkeetna, Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage, Whittier, College Fjord, Glacier Bay, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, then our journey came to an end in Vancouver. Denali National Park was my favorite part of Alaska. I also really enjoyed the train ride we took through the mountains. It was there we encountered some of the most breathtaking views. I also really enjoyed the 4x4 adventure through the Tongass National Forest. And the river at Talkeetna was also stunning with its incredible views of Denali (Mt. McKinley -- Alaskans call it "Denali.")

The song in the video is one of my originals, "Alive Today." Please pardon the clicks and pops. Final Cut Pro did something funky with the audio when I exported the video. "Alive Today" is available on iTunes. Use this link:
