ATP for the great service and Alaskan experiences they provide to our
guests.
Each year the event is accompanied with
a spread of homemade foods, good conversation, stories and camaraderie.
We always learn something new about the goods, services, and travel
opportunities available to our guests. This
year, we learned that Once in a Blue Moose has
been a family owned Alaskan business since 1969, with now three generations of
Alaskans bringing unique gifts and souvenirs to Alaska’s Visitors. And Ascending Path has extended its tour repertoire to
appeal to families and elders, with new adventures to come in 2016! What great
stories and plans!
