Kodiak, Nome, and the Bush Sights

Philosophically speaking, the bush is more of a lifestyle than a location. Technically, it's a place in Alaska that can't be reached by road. A tour of the state's southwestern region can begin in Bethel, an important bush outpost on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, surrounded by the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge; off the mainland coast is the undeveloped wilderness of Nunivak Island. Next is the Alaska Peninsula, which juts out between the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea; here are Katmai National Park & Preserve, Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve, and the Becharof and Alaska Peninsula National Wildlife refuges. To the southeast of the Alaska Peninsula is the Kodiak Archipelago, where you'll find the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and Shuyak Island State Park; the Aleutian Islands start where the peninsula ends and sweep southwest toward Japan.
