Alaska is a place of natural beauty and a land of adventure.  From The Far North Arctic National Park through the Inside Passage and heartland to the South, Alaska is home to breathtaking scenery and is the habitat for a magnificent collection of wildlife.  This is definitely a destination that must feature on your bucket-list.

Far North

Alaska’s Far North is filled with rich history and natural wonders, from the past gold rush days to the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve.  The communities of Alaska’s Far North are accessible from Fairbanks or Anchorage.  This is one of Alaska’s most diverse regions, filled with cultural opportunities, wildlife, and a landscape ranging from coastal plains to mountain ranges.

Inside passage

Shaped by the force of massive glaciers millions of years ago, Alaska’s Inside Passage is home to Indian tribes and habitat for bald eagles, sea lions, porpoises and whales. Its mountains are surrounded by majestic forests.

Heartland

Here you will find Alaska’s tallest peak, Denali. The forests are full of wildlife and bird life including the formidable grizzly. Experience summer’s midnight sun or the winter’s northern lights. Wildlife can be seen on the highway that runs by Denali National Park, carrying visitors to and from Anchorage and Fairbanks.

Southcentral

Home to over half of Alaska’s population, this region is a playground of activities from world-class fishing to hiking and wildlife viewing. With mountains and lakes, Southcentral has the amenities travelers seek, while serving as a gateway to the wilderness experience.

Southwest

Few places on earth compare with the wonders of Southwest Alaska. Brown bears amble along the hills and plains, and more than 240 bird species inhabit Alaska’s Southwest region. The region’s terrain ranges from a landscape of volcanoes in Katmai National Park to the windswept Aleutian Islands.
