Destination - Alaska       

Trek across the "Great Frontier" and explore mile after mile of stunning fjords, glaciers, forests and mountains.

The state of Alaska is practically an entire natural preserve that is a favored destination to travelers seeking a sense of culture, awe-inspiring scenery and, literally, a breath of fresh air. Known as the "Great Frontier", it conjures images of jagged islands, imposing glaciers and isolated towns. Alaska's natural beauty is trumped only by the exotic array of wildlife that inhabits its unspoiled wilderness, including sea lions, bald eagles, seals, otters, whales, caribou and wolves.

 

Getting Around

Because Alaska's terrain is so rugged and challenging, it is a destination that almost always calls for a tour guide. Navigating the state's maze of glaciers, waterways, forests and fjords is a daunting task, and the presence of a guide ensures that you won't miss out on the most heralded natural attractions.

If you're interested in scavenging local shops for antiques, handicrafts and other goods, you can venture out on the streets without a guide. Visits to local museums and cultural attractions don't necessarily require a guide either.
