The great outdoors are a great place for one to vacation, and when traveling across the USA, there are few places where you can experience the outdoors like you could in Alaska. From magnificent snow capped mountains to serene lakes full of salmon, Alaska offers an outdoor vacation that’s hard to beat.

There are many cities in Alaska you can visit, but the two most prominent would be the Southern city of Anchorage and the Northern city of Fairbanks. You can actually find yourself visiting both cities, flying into one of the airports, then flying out of the opposite one. Then you have a choice of how you’ll get from one to other, and part of your vacation will be traveling in the direction of your return airport by car. If you want to see more sights along the way, you could take a train ride from one of these two cities to the other. This journey of just under 350 miles will give you not only breathtaking views of Mt. McKinley, crosses the 700ft Mears Memorial bridge and clings to the side of Nenana River Canyon, but it also takes you across Hurricane Gulch that is 918ft wide. This is a train journey you won’t ever forget!

The sporting scene in Alaska is quite unique, so the more active vacationer can check the dog mushing scene out while at Fairbanks, or opt to go backpacking in Alaska’s famous Denali National Park. Those who want to spend the night at Denali National Park need to be advised of this unique, yet understandable policy – anyone planning to stay the night would need to complete a reservation form. This is perfect for the vacationer who likes recreation, but prefers it quiet – activities in most parts of Alaska include gold panning, canoing, fishing, or simply taking pictures of its exquisite wildlife. Regular golfers missing their regular dose of eighteen holes can play a round at the park if they wish. On the other side of the scale, extreme sports such as rock climbing, heli-skiing, and rafting are also available for those who enjoy the thrill and adventure involved.

Alaska has a lot more to offer than snow and ice. You can enjoy all the above activities and see all the above attractions, and want to come back for another time.
