There are only some places in the United States that can show off 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 provides an open-air holiday that's difficult to beat.
If you're flying into Alaska, your main choices are Anchorage in the south of the state or Fairbanks in the north.
One way of getting the best from your occasion in Alaska is to fly into one of the airports and out of the other.
Then you have a option of you'll obtain from one to other, and part of your vacation will be traveling in the track of your go back airport - this can be by van or train. For added adventure, you can take the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks (or vice versa) - this trip of just under 350 miles will provide you not only breathtaking views of Mt. McKinley, crosses the 700ft Mears Memorial viaduct and clings to the side of Nenana River Canyon, but it also takes you crossways Hurricane Gulch - 918ft wide! This is a train journey you will not ever fail to remember!
Sports and leisure chances abound in Alaska, whether you like better to go backpacking in Denali National Park, or dog mushing close to Fairbanks, you'll find something new to skill - note however that if you mean to use the night camping in Denali National Park you will want to create a reservation to do so as the park has severe keeping track of operations in set. Fishing, canoeing on the lakes, photographing the natural wildlife, and panning for gold offer extra sedate past-times. You'll even find you can have a about of golf or two if you're lost your usual tee-time! On the other side of the scale, great sporting activities - such as rock climbing, heli-skiing, rafting etc are also free for those who enjoy the thrill and adventure involved.
Alaska has a lot more to offer than snow and ice. A vacation here will leave you wishing you had longer to
spend in the state, and planning your revisit visit.
