YouTube Video Description

https://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Located 115 miles north of Anchorage, small Talkeetna owes much of its current fame (and tourism) to its proximity to Deneli, North American's tallest peak (20,310'). A turn-of-the-20th-century gold-mining center, Talkeetna has approximately 800+ residents who proudly retain their individuality and early Alaska flavor. We hope the Northern Lights appear and to increase percentages, have a 8 night stay. Join us in Alaska! (Please don't forget to Share, Like and Subscribe! Thanks...) September 19, 2020
