Introduction

Alaska - America's largest state, is one-fifth the size of the United States. Alaska boasts Denali - North America's highest mountain, Wrangell-St. Elias - the largest National Park, more active glaciers and ice fields than in the rest of the inhabited world, and more coastline than the contiguous 48 states. 

From the breathtaking vistas of the highest peak in the nation to the ice caves of the mysterious and spectacular Glacier Bay, Alaska has something for everyone. It is a place that lures visitors with its natural wonders and wildlife, native cultures, pristine wilderness and spirited people.

Arrive by air, sea or highway. Experience the thrill of kayaking, whale watching, fishing, skiing, Aurora Borealis watching, wildlife viewing, glacier cruising, flightseeing and more. Relax aboard the Alaska Railroad as you enjoy the spectacular scenery and a hearty meal. Utilize the state’s Marine Highway ferry system to explore Alaska’s coastal communities. From the rain forests of Southeast Alaska to the shores of the Far North, celebrate and share Alaska's unique character and Native diversity. Alaska offers a complete range of entertainment and activities. 

You can camp, hike and discover remote un-peopled regions, or be pampered by first rate hotels and lodges. The choice is yours to make. Whether traveling with a package tour or exploring independently, you can enjoy year-round excitement and fun. The experiences are personal, the memories unforgettable.
