Alaska & The Yukon

At 365 million acres, Alaska is so large that if you saw 1 million acres per day, it would take you a year to see all of the state. Thirty-nine mountain ranges, 100,000 glaciers, 16 national parks, 17 of the tallest peaks on the continent, and incredible wildlife; now that’s overwhelming! You want to see the best of it all, but there’s so much information.

  • Juneau: Take advantage of the long daylight hours to visit Tongass National Forest, experience Alaska’s gold mining past at the Last Chance Mining Museum, or enjoy the pristine nature by kayaking, dog sledding, we watching, or fishing. Juneau is also home to North America’s fifth largest icefield. It is a drive-up attraction and the highlight is the Mendenhall Glacier, a wave of ice that stretches 12 miles from the Juneau Icefield to Mendenhall Lake. At its widest point, the glacier is more than 1 ½ miles with ice from 400-1800 feet deep. The opportunities are endless in Alaska’s capital.
  • Glacier Bay National Park: Mammoth glaciers will surround you everywhere you look. Wrap up in a wooly blanket and sip on hot chocolate while you travel through fjords of mirrored water and ice walls, one after the other.  A national park ranger will be on board to point out the wonders before you.  DO NOT go to Alaska without stopping here!
  • Sitka: The onion domes of St. Michael's Cathedral are your first clue that Sitka was once a Russian settlement - the colonial headquarters of Count Baranof, no less. Discover the echoes of its heyday at a performance by the New Archangel Dancers. Be greeted by Tlingit native people, then stand on the spot where the United States took possession of Alaska in 1867 for $7.2 million, less than two cents per acre. The dramatic setting in the shadow of Mt. Edgecumbe is one of the lovliest in the Great Land.
  • Ketchikan: A shopper’s paradise and a nature buff’s dream. This "Gateway City" has so little flat ground that entire streets and sidewalks are built on docks over the water. Ketchikan is also considered Alaska's "Rain Capital" with over 155 inches per year. Be sure to pack your raincoat! Visit the galleries and jewelry and souvenir shops that line the docks or take a flight-seeing tour of breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument.
  • Victoria Island, British Columbia: A touch of England awaits: afternoon tea, double-decker buses, the famed Butchart Gardens - a brilliant tapestry of color spread across 50 blooming acres.
