Alaska: Guides & resources to prepare you for your big adventure

It’s almost impossible to overuse superlatives when it comes to Alaska. To start, there’s the vast, untamed wilderness, its glaciers, waterfalls, icebergs, deep forests and deeper bays, all defying adequate description. Mist-wringed peaks almost dare humans to conquer them. Brown bears, whales and eagles might appear on any given day. But it’s not just about nature, though that alone would be enough for most of us.

There’s also a richness of culture. Native American, Russian and Norwegian communities still thrive in Alaska, and the hardy spirit that launched the Klondike Gold Rush lives on. Modern cities, rustic towns, incomparable Native American artwork, stellar shopping, fishing, mountain climbing, photo ops and as much adventure as anyone can handle all await in Alaska.

Overheard

“No talk of Alaska would be complete without mentioning the crown jewel, Denali National Park. About 250 miles north of the nearest coastal town, Anchorage, Denali boasts more than 6 million acres of rugged beauty. It includes Mount McKinley, as well as abundant wildlife.”

Porthole magazine

“Don't leave Alaska without sampling local berries such as mossberries, salmonberries, and lingonberries. Farmers markets are best bets.”
