Tour Date: June 18 - July 2, 2022. We were very lucky to have perfect weather during our whole tour, with no rain. We learned much about the native culture by our visits to the local museums, dog sled compounds, an original homestead and especially the great commentary by our tour guide. This trip is more than beautiful scenery, Tauck makes it a cultural experience. The view of Denali was spectacular. 
We were most impressed with our tour guide as his experience solved two unforeseen problems on our tour. First was the Copper Center was closed due to a staffing shortage and the tour was re-routed to Fairbanks. In Fairbanks, among many other activities, we visited the Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum. A very cool presentation of antique autos alongside displays of period dress. In my opinion, this museum compares very nicely to the Peterson Auto Museum in L.A. 
Glacier Bay was awesome, we saw the glaciers calve several times with a thunderous roar. 
For our visit to Skagway, a mudslide, a couple of nights before our ships arrival, damaged the dock our ship was supposed to use. The ship instead was redirected to dock at the town of Haines. Our tour guide arranged a private ferry, for the Tauck guests only, to get us to Skagway in time for us to board the train at White Pass. 
The White Pass train trip is one of the highlights of the tour and we are so grateful that our tour guide made the effort to get us there. Whale watching in Juneau was cool.
This, without a doubt, is one of our most memorable trips with Tauck.
