Hope, Alaska

Neighborhoods

Hope, AK, consists of little more than a town post office and an old museum chronicling the history of this goldrush town. A collection of buildings were relocated from the old miners' camp of Sunrise, AK, about 15 miles away and have been restored on the museum's property. The husband and wife who run the museum were a wealth of knowledge about the area's history.

That man single-handedly rebuilt this old mining camp in its present day location

Alaska Vacation

My family went on a cruise in southeastern Alaska at the end of August. It was more beautiful there than I had imagined! We did all sorts of fun things -- from fly fishing for salmon to kayaking in Sitka to flying over the Alaska Range and Mt. McKinley to admiring a 74 pound cabbage at the state fair. Our trip to Alaska was a true adventure!
