Alaska Travel Guide
Photo: Marlene Edin, Fodors.com member
Alaska is a place where northern lights color the winter sky, where the summer sun circles the horizon, where brown bears catch salmon in wild rivers, where Native peoples continue their centuries-old traditions, where mountaineers work their way across glaciers, where bush pilots land floatplanes on remote backcountry lakes, and where vast stretches of land lie undeveloped and unpeopled. For lovers of the outdoors, few places come close to Alaska.
