When you backpack America you are probably on a spending plan. I fell in love with the location on my very first Alaska cruise. It is a very tough place to get tired. Start in Vancouver for instance and get a bus to San Francisco then by means of Yosemite National Park. The United States and Canada - this is the location you can go to if you desire to feel the chill. One of the most popular is the Steele Birding Drive.
