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.

Where do you start? Right here, with Above & Beyond Travel. We’ll help you navigate Alaska and the Yukon, whether you know exactly where you want to go, have some ideas, or just want someone to tell you how to have the best experience.  The itineraries are complex and we'd love to help you determine the best one for you.

Ketchikan, Alaska PDF Print E-mail

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.

Ketchikan is also home to Alaska's Native Cultural Center, is a sport fishing capital, and is home to the world's largest collection of totems at Saxman Village. If you are interested in flight-seeing, this is our #3 pick (after Denali and Skagway).

 

If you're traveling in June, be sure to catch the Annual King Salmon Derby, as world-class fishing event for locals and visitors, alike. In July and August, don't miss the Timber Carnival, Gigglefeet Dance Festival, Summer Beer Festival and the Blueberry Arts Festival.
