While you can do a lot of things in Alaska you can find elsewhere, one fairly unique aspect of Alaska travel is the opportunity to get up close and personal with glacial ice. There is no other place in the country like it and very few places in the world have the breathtaking scenery that comes with adventuring around glaciers. On today's episode, we discuss six different ways to experience the ice when exploring the Last Frontier and the benefits of choosing each of those adventures. What is a stone fruit? What's the best way to experience a glacier? And how does whiskey on the rocks with glacial ice taste?! It's the episode that'll have you shivering with excitement!

Alaska is a great state to visit no matter your age or ability level. There are plenty of options for all including families that visit with young ones. It's not always a cheap flight to Alaska so it's not a bad idea to take advantage of the free lap infant flight for babies under the age of two, but what can you do with them once you are here? Fear not, your trusty bald eagles, one of whom has a one year old daughter himself, are here to provide some top travel tips for families adventuring to the Last Frontier with those little human critters called babies. What adventures can be had with a baby? What gear should you consider bringing or renting? And what does the ole AI say is a good 7 day itinerary for a family?! It's the episode you might throw a tantrum for if someone interrupts while you listen!
