My life dream

Alaska

        Alaska to me is by far the beautiful stare in America. The land of breathtaking landscapes, scenic mountains, enormous lakes, very natural place to be. Alaska is home to Mount McKinley located within awesome Denali National Park, the enormous glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park, has a lot of natural living creatures like whales and Grizzles. 
        Id get to Alaska by taking a world Class jet their being in the luxury first class. Also, this place is known for the breath taking views and mostly wildlife. The average temperature in this state is 20-60 degrees thought the months. Therefore, for this experience I need lots of clothes, sunglasses, hiking gear, and a house to live their for ever. The experiences I accept from this experience lots of views that give me goose bumps. Also, going hiking and drink fresh water from a river. This excites me so much and just really interest's me.
