thanks
You will not see much. Flying around ANC can be pretty pedestrian compaired to what lies beyond the Alaska Range. One season wouldn't be harmful but I would wait till I had enough time to fly for a senic flight company or as forest service contract pilot. I had the most fun doing that. I got to fly all over the state and was alone much of the time. The best option of all is to own a plane, even a simple 150 would do, and head up there on a two month flying safari.
