About Alaska
Alaska has the tallest mountains, the largest area of national parks, the most glaciers and the longest coastline in the United States. Alaska is amazing and in your reach.
Wildlife viewing opportunities are abundant. Take a guided tour through a national or state park to see bear and caribou, or a day cruise to see puffins, sea otters and humpback and killer whales.
In winter, when Alaska sparkles and shines, when much of the land is covered by soft snow, you can see the northern lights and the world famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from Anchorage to Nome. And there are so many activities, including downhill, heli and cross-country skiing, snow machining, show shoeing and dog mushing. Try Alaska, for a very special holiday.
