This was one of my favorite excursions in Alaska. It was cold and wet, but our guide was funny as heck. Plus, the one thing I wanted more than anything on the trip was to see a moose in the wild. Everyone else had seen them except me. Until this trip. As we rounded a bend, there at the shore, munching away, was a moose mom and two young. It was amazing to see them so close up and in their natural setting. Of course, due to the rapids and nature of the activity, I didn't have my camera. My friend explained it that nature wanted me to actually see it live, rather than fiddling with a camera and only getting to see the picture afterwards. It is a picture in my mind that I will never forget. I did get to see ore moose afterwards, but this viewing was special. Oh, and the rafting itself was a lot of fun too. I would highly recommend it.
