There are few places in the United States that can boast as much natural beauty and Alaska, and when it comes to untamed natural beauty, this state wins hands down. From magnificent snow capped mountains to cool lakes full of salmon, Alaska offers an open-air rest that's difficult to beat.
If you're flying into Alaska, your major choices are Anchorage in the south of the state or Fairbanks in the north. One method of getting the top from your time in Alaska is to fly into one of the airfields and out of the other. Then you have a alternative of you'll obtain from one to other, and part of your vacation will be nomadic in the path of your return air port - this can be by auto or train. For added experience, you can take the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks (or vice versa) - this journey of just below 350 miles will provide you not only breathtaking views of Mt. McKinley, crosses the 700ft Mears Memorial bridge and clings to the surface of Nenana River Canyon, but it also takes you across Hurricane Gulch - 918ft wide! This is a train trip you won't ever forget!
Activities and leisure options abound in Alaska, whether you favor to go backpacking in Denali National Park, or dog mushing close to Fairbanks, you'll find something new to experience - note however that if you intend to spend the night hiking in Denali National Park you will want to make a reservation to do so as the park has strict monitoring operations in set. Fishing, canoeing on the lakes, photographing the natural wildlife, and panning for gold offer more sedate past-times. You'll even find you can have a about of golf or two if you're missing your normal tee-time! On the extra face of the level, great sports - such as rock climbing, heli-skiing, rafting etc are also available for those who like the thrill and adventure involved.
Alaska has a lot more to present than snow and frost. A holiday here will go you wishing you had more to spend in the state, and planning your return visit.
