S.A.L.T.: Alaska by Land and Sea

The S.A.L.T. program hosted an adventurous two-week Alaskan trip at the beginning of September. Led by Johannes and Lynda Witte of Witte Travel, a total of 41 alumni, staff, faculty and friends of the college were in attendance.

The trip began in Vancouver, Canada, where the group boarded a cruise ship that took them through the inner passage of the Pacific coastline. Throughout this part of the voyage, they enjoyed magnificent scenery, charming towns and a lot of American history.

“It was such a blessing to share God’s magnificent, unspoiled creation with Trinity travelers,” Salt Director Ruth De Bruyn said.

Once in Alaska, the ship cruised through beautiful sights of Glacier Bay National Park and College Fjord. On land, a Direct-to-the-Wilderness train took the group to Talkeetna, where they stayed at a nearby lodge. From there, they visited Denali National Park, enjoyed the sight of Mount McKinley, and took a riverboat cruise in Fairbanks.

Local cuisine, native wildlife, rich history and majestic landscape made the trip one to remember.

“Everyone, including S.A.L.T. students, board members, professors and friends of the college were drawn closer to God and all His glory as a result of this once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Ruth De Bruyn said. “We are thankful for great weather and safe travels.”
