July 2008
Dear Friends of Alaska,

Our Promise is an Experience...Not just a Vacation!

2009 promises to be a landmark year for John Hall’s Alaska as we welcome 50 years of statehood for our 49th state.  It was 54 years ago when I made my first trip up the Alaska Highway delivering farm fresh eggs from Minnesota to the residents of Fairbanks. 25 years ago Anderson House Tours, now John Hall’s Alaska, made its first tour with 44 visitors over the exact same path into Alaska.

Another year has quickly passed, and once again we have had the pleasure of presenting Alaska to thousands of our happy clients.

Enthusiastic reviews were received on a daily basis commenting on the wonderful activities and attractions everyone experienced while on our tours.  Some of the highest ratings we received were for our new cruise across Prince William Sound where countless Humpback and Orca Whales were seen as well as Sea Lions, Sea Otters and Eagles.  Columbia Glacier, that daily spawns giant icebergs, thrilled our photographers and adventure seekers, especially after realizing that it is the only place in North America where icebergs may be seen.  

Denali National Park is one of the most desired destinations within Alaska.  Our clients had the amazing opportunity to go further into the park and to experience Wonder Lake and Kantishna (95 miles deep within the park boundaries).  In 2009 we have added new programs that will offer you the best Denali experience possible by allowing you to spending two nights deep in Denali National Park.  We will continue to offer the 95 mile day trip to Wonder Lake and Kantishna as well.

We are a family operation, with my three children all being involved in the daily operations.  My eldest, John Hall Jr., was married in April to a wonderful lady from Texas and she is now our Director of Corporate Marketing.  With all five of us working together, you are guaranteed to have the most personalized and unique experience that Alaska has to offer.  Please be assured that customer service is the highest priority within the company, and you will always come first!

From our family to yours, we hope to help you arrange the experience of a lifetime,

John S. Hall Sr.
