Beauty in Alaska

The big grizzly bears that roam the Alaska terrain have it made. Alaska is one of the most scenic places in the whole entire world. I would love to visit Alaska one day and take-in all of the beauty that is there. It can get really cold in the winter time there and I’m not sure if I would want to spend a winter in Alaska. Once the weather starts to warm up in the spring and green starts growing on the mountains is when I would want to take my trip to Alaska. The wildlife is every where in Alaska. Visitors would have no problems capturing the animals on film or seeing them in their natural habitat. I hope the global warming trend we are in now or “climate change” isn’t hurting these animals too much. The polar bears have been affected with less ice around to float on, so I know they are in trouble. I’m not sure if the grizzly bears are having their own problems, but if the salmon population slows down in Alaska, this would hurt the big bears in the fall and winter seasons in Alaska. These mammoth bears rely on the fats they get from the salmon’s skin and they need this for hibernation. If bears don’t over eat in the fall season, they will wake up too early during the winter and will struggle to find food. Let’s hope the natural beauty of Alaska stays the same and we can prevent the warming trend that is currently happening in our environment.

Have you ever been to Alaska before? Do you live in Alaska? Please be sure to tell me any stories or adventures that you have experienced in Alaska. If you did make a trip there at one time, do you plan to go back? I would want to find a cabin that is by itself in the mountains of Alaska. I wouldn’t want to be near any cities or towns, so I could enjoy the silence that Alaska offers. I’m sure the wildlife makes noises up there, but that would be the only noise I would hear. I think it would be fun to arrive in the fall and chop wood for a few weeks and live out a winter in Alaska. It would be a game of survival to have enough food and medicine to survive the harsh conditions that Alaska offers in the winter months. I would be up for the challenge, if I could take the time off from work. I just need to win the lottery and I would embrace an Alaskan winter. Money is the only thing keeping me away for now and I hope that changes real soon.
