Alaska's Inside Passage
I've been wanted to go to Alaska for years now, and I'd like to plan a trip for next summer (2005) as a post-graduation adventure. The thing is that a cruise or typical touristy package would be a big waste of time and money for me because I want to go be tough and experience the land and whatnot. (I study environmental science.) I've heard about people starting in Washington state and taking ferries all the way up the inside passage, but I'm not sure how I would go about planning something like that. Does anybody have first-hand experience with this or have any suggestions for other parts of Alaska to visit and do my being-with-nature thing?
