Beyond the regions that are home Denali and Kenai Fjords National Park, there is much more to explore. The grandeur and unspoiled wilderness of Alaska continues across 3 distinct, expansive and diverse regions. From the far north of the Arctic, the west of Katmai and Lake Clark to the glacial waters of the Inside Passage in the Southwest, adventure is everywhere.
The arctic boasts some of the best sports to view the northern lights with wildlife abundant including caribou and flocks of migratory birds, wolves, musk ox, Arctic foxes, and even polar bears. Whether you're seeking an unforgettable backcountry hiking trip through the protected wild tundra or keen to experience the culture and traditions of Native Alaskans, Alaska's far north will leave you with a lifetime of memories and stories to share.
Alaska's Inside Passage is a remarkable region, carved by the immense strength of glaciers millions of years ago, that extends 500 miles along the Pacific Ocean. From wildlife-rich fjords, tidewater glaciers, and verdant island landscapes, the Inside Passage has become a popular route for small and large cruise ships from the ports of Vancouver, B.C., Seattle and Los Angeles.
From inspiring chiseled peaks and glacier-clad volcanos to the wide expanses of verdant tundra and ribbons of meandering rivers, Katmai and Lake Clark national park and preserves are two of the best locales for viewing the characteristic brown bears forage while river salmon run. It’s a truly incredible display!
