There are only some places in the United States that can boast as much native elegance and Alaska, and when it comes to untamed natural attractiveness, this state wins hands down. From magnificent snow capped mountains to cool lakes full of salmon, Alaska offers an open-air vacation 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 time in Alaska is to fly into one of the airports and out of the other. Then you have a choice of you'll get from one to extra, and part of your vacation will be nomadic in the way of your go back air port - this can be by auto or train. For added event, you can take the train from Anchorage to Fairbanks (or vice versa) - this trip of just below 350 miles will give you not only breathtaking views of Mt. McKinley, crosses the 700ft Mears Memorial viaduct and clings to the surface of Nenana River Canyon, but it also takes you across Hurricane Gulch - 918ft wide! This is a train journey you will not ever fail to remember!
Activities and leisure opportunities abound in Alaska, if you favor to go backpacking in Denali National Park, or dog mushing near Fairbanks, you'll find great fresh to experience - note however that if you mean to use the night hiking in Denali National Park you will need to create a reservation to do so as the park has strict keeping track of processes in place. Fishing, canoeing on the lakes, photographing the natural natural world, and panning for gold offer extra sedate past-times. You'll even find you can have a about of golf or 2 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 available for those who enjoy the thrill and journey involved.
Alaska has a lot extra to present than snow and frost. A vacation here will leave you wishing you had more to spend in the state, and planning your return visit.
