- Cindy S., Loveland, CO
Alaska has some of the most incredible scen-
ery to be found in the United States. In order
to enjoy all the state has to offer, visitors must
get out and experience it for themselves.
Enjoy the Outdoors
From the Mild to the Wild
Even if you dont have a lot of outdoor experi-
ence, day excursions and guided tours allow
you to discover true Alaska wilderness dur-
ing the day and sleep in a comfortable bed
at night. For the seasoned outdoor expert,
Alaska is teeming with opportunities for rug-
ged, backcountry treks. Whether you prefer
to hike on an ice age glacier, skim the wilder-
ness in a bush plane or take a dog sled ride,
youll nd plenty of options to experience the
Alaska youve always dreamed about. The
states many famous rivers, lakes and protected
coastal waters offer the chance to experience
rafting, kayaking or jet boat rides from mild to
wild. No matter what your interest, youre sure
to nd some adventures tailor-made for you.
Find a Sportsmans Paradise
Alaska offers some of the most diverse and in-
credible shing in the world. You can pull off
the road and drop a line into a roadside river
or charter a boat to help you reel in one of
Alaskas enormous halibut. Fly-in shing, wil-
derness lodges and sh camps offer once-in-a-
lifetime experiences. In all, more than 386 sh
species inhabit Alaskas salt and fresh waters.
A complete guide to freshwater and saltwater
shing regulations is available from the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game, Division of Sport Fish. For contact
information, visit www.sf.adfg.state.ak.us/statewide/reghome.cfm.
Hunting in Alaska provides a full range of guided and unguided ex-
periences. Alaska is famous for its huge moose, vast caribou herds,
brown bears, Dall sheep, mountain goats and Sitka black-tailed deer.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Division of Wildlife
Conservation provides information on hunting regulations at
www.wildlife.alaska.gov.
Discover Ecotourism at its Best
Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural areas while preserving
the environment and improving the well-being of local people.
Alaska is a prime year-round destination for visitors seeking a more
personal connection with nature, culture and wilderness. Ecotourism
means you leave little or no impact during your visit so that future
visitors can enjoy the same beauty and quality experience of Alaskas
special places. Using established paths rather than disturbing
vegetation, limiting campres and being careful not to litter are
all highly recommended.

With large caribou herds migrating across
Alaskas interior, millions of salmon spawn-
ing in its rivers, and the world-famous Kodiak
brown bears visitors cant help but enjoy the
diversity of Alaskas wildlife. Wildlife viewing
opportunities are abundant in Alaska. Take a
guided tour through a national or state park to
see bear and caribou, or a day cruise to see puf-
ns, sea otters and humpback and killer whales.
Even a leisurely walk on Alaskas extensive trail
system may put you in a spot where youll cross
paths with moose or Dall sheep.
You can take a ightseeing trip that specializes
in wildlife viewing by air, take wildlife tours
by motorcoach, or participate in a guided
tour that specializes in bear viewing, whale
watching or bird watching. Or for guaranteed
wildlife viewing take a trip to the Alaska
Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage,
the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, or the
Alaska Zoo in Anchorage.
Wildlife viewing takes on a different dimen-
sion in the winter months, as many animals
are easier to see against a backdrop of white
snow. Watch about 3,000 bald eagles gather
to feed on salmon at the Chilkat Bald Eagle
Preserve near Haines. Moose, fox and various
species of birds can be spotted during
winter. No matter which path you choose,
youll remember it for a lifetime.
The moose crossed the road right in front of us.
Ill never forget it
it was a mother and her calf.

Dall Sheep
Wildlife Viewing Tips
Dawn and dusk are the best times for viewing
Drive to or visit likely places, especially wildlife refuges or national parks
Use binoculars or a telephoto lens to get that great close-up shot
Watch from a distance so both you and the animal are safe
Be patient because even when wildlife is abundant it can take time to spot
Make noise when you travel in thick brush or near spawning
salmon to avoid surprising moose and bears

Sue M., Springeld, VA
Alaskas intriguing history is closely inter-
twined with that of the people who settled
here thousands of years ago. Their diverse
culture bears imprints of every group that has
made Alaska its home, from the rst ice age
nomads to Russian fur traders to the gold min-
ers who came to seek their fortunes.
Alaska Native Life
Today, Alaska Natives comprise almost 16
percent of Alaskas population. These in-
digenous people interweave todays modern
lifestyle with their own cultural threads and
spiritual beliefs, preserving the gifts of tradi-
tion for the coming generations. From tradi-
tional music and dance to beautiful Native
art, there are many opportunities and venues
for Alaska visitors to experience an integral
part of Alaskas culture and history. Visit the
Alaska Native Heritage Center, a living
museum in Anchorage, the Alutiiq Museum
and Archaeological Repository in Kodiak, the
Kenai Visitors and Cultural Center in Kenai
or the famous totem exhibits in Ketchikan.
Go on a guided tour a tour to Barrow will
take you to the site of the Inupiat Heritage
Center, or view traditional style Clan Houses
in Wrangell, Haines, Sitka, and other commu-
nities in Alaska.
The History of Russian America
By the time America bought the Alaska
Territory, Russians had been living here for
more than 120 years. The strength of Alaskas
Russian heritage is still visible today. Visitors
can join historical tours in towns and regions with strong Russian
connections or explore museums with exhibits exploring Russias
role in Alaskan history such as the Baranov Museum in Kodiak or
Sitka Russian Church and National Historical Park. The strength of
Alaskas Russian heritage is still visible in the onion-shaped domes of
Russian Orthodox churches that rise above many Alaska towns.
A Quest for Gold
The lure of gold touched almost every corner of Alaska. In Skagway,
join a ranger-guided walking tour through the restored buildings
of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park or experience
Gold Rush era travel on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway.
Try your hand at panning for gold in many Alaska cities, including
Juneau, Fairbanks, Skagway, Girdwood and Nome or view mammoth
historical gold dredges in Fairbanks and Nome.

Peak Season
Mid-May to Mid-September
This is when most of Alaskas visitors travel.
The days are longest, the temperatures warm-
est. Some activities or accommodations may
only be available during this time. This sea-
son is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking,
camping, river rafting, ightseeing and, of
course, world-famous shing.
Shoulder Season
Early May, Late September and October
There are fewer visitors in May, September
and October. This is when youre likely to nd
discounts on travel and activities. The weath-
er in the shoulder season is often very mild
and most summer activities are still offered.
Winter
November to April
Winter is a time when Alaska sparkles and
shines, when much of the land is covered by
a blanket of soft snow. This is the time to see
the northern lights, share in the excitement
of the world-famous Iditarod Trail Sled Dog
Race (Anchorage to Nome), watch the World
Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks or enjoy
the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous, and Tour of
Anchorage. Youll nd an abundance of win-
ter activities, including downhill, heli- and
cross-country skiing, snowmachining, snow-
shoeing and dog mushing.

Alaska is accessible year-round by air,
land or sea. Many visitors choose to
combine modes of travel, arriving by air
and departing by sea or driving to Alaska
and then boarding the ferry for the trip
home. Each has advantages and offers
a unique perspective. For instance, the
best way to see the coastline is by ferry or
cruiseship, while there are certain types
of wildlife you may only see by taking
the open road. And if you want a birds-
eye view of the glaciers, take an airplane
or day cruise. No matter what your inter-
ests, youre sure to nd it on your journey
to Alaska.

Fly to Alaska
Flying to Alaska is as easy and affordable
as ying to many familiar vacation spots.
More than a dozen airlines provide service to
Alaska. Direct ights are available from many
U.S. cities. Travel time ranges from 3 hours
to about 7.5 hours. Fly to one of Alaskas
major airports in Anchorage, Fairbanks,
Juneau or Ketchikan for connecting ights to
other communities.
Take a Cruise
A cruise to Alaska is anything but typical.
Cruises are available in a variety of sizes, from
large cruiseships, small yachts and sternwheel-
ers. Many travelers take a cruise one way
then get off the ship to explore the interior of
Alaska and return by air. Cruises operate May
through September. Ride the Alaska Marine Highway
The state-owned ferry system is called a marine highway because
it provides vital year-round transportation service for more than
30 coastal communities. The route, which is designated a National
Scenic Byway and All-American Road, means spectacular coastal
scenery along the route and rich cultural history in port communi-
ties. Walk on or bring your car, RV, bicycle or motorcycle for a re-
laxed, informal way to travel.
Drive the Alaska Highway
Alaska can be reached by driving the scenic Alaska-Canada
Highway (or ALCAN). The road is fully paved and thoroughly
modernized only the scenery remains wild. Towns and traveler ser-
vices appear at frequent intervals. The highway is open year-round,
although some businesses close for the winter. It takes about ve days
to travel main routes from the Pacic Northwest, through Canada,
to Alaska. Travel by car, motorhome or as part of a motorcoach tour.

Once in Alaska, you can get around in a va-
riety of ways. Keep your personal travel style
in mind. Consider a package tour if you prefer
leaving the details to someone else. Or you
might prefer to travel independently, explor-
ing Alaska at your own pace.
Driving
Alaska has more scenic highways than any
other state in America, and you can see it for
yourself by driving its highways. You can rent
a standard car or RV and easily cover much
of Alaskas road system. Youll nd that four-
wheel drive is not necessary to get around and
that you really cant get lost when you drive in
Alaska. In Anchorage, for example, there are
only two highways that leave the city one
going north, the other south. Sooner or later,
youre bound to arrive someplace wonderful.
So if you feel comfortable driving at home,
youll feel comfortable driving in Alaska, too.
Rail Travel
The Alaska Railroad provides passenger ser-
vice on a scenic 500 mile (800 km) route
running as far south as Seward and as far
north as Fairbanks. The Alaska Railroad offers
unique double-decker glass-domed cars that
provide passengers an unrestricted view of
the landscape.
The White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad was
built in 1898, at the height of the Klondike
Gold Rush. This 110 mile (177 km) pri-
vate railway linked the port of Skagway to
Whitehorse in the Yukon, giving prospectors access to the gold elds
beyond. Today, the White Pass offers narrated excursions in tradi-
tional parlor cars, traveling the Scenic Railway of the World.
Van & Bus Travel
A number of tour companies both large and small provide transporta-
tion for visitors throughout the summer. With this option, you dont
need to worry about logistics or mapping out your route, and you are
free to relax and enjoy the view. You can choose from point-to-point
transportation or multi-day, all-inclusive tours.
Air Taxis & Charters
Scheduled air taxi and air charter service provides access to small
communities and remote destinations via propeller-driven bush
planes. There are many good reasons to travel by small plane: a y-
out shing experience, a visit to a Native community, access to a wil-
derness lodge, or the unique Alaskan activity of ightseeing. These
small air carriers serve thousands of Alaskans and visitors every year.
Travel by Sea
Many tour companies offer port-to-port travel and single-day or
multi-day excursions, while the Alaska Marine Highway System pro-
vides practical, dependable ferry passages and the ability to transport
your car or RV. Sail point-to-point and trace hundreds of miles of
breathtaking coastline.
Things to Remember
Alaskas larger towns and cities have major medical facilities,
full banking services and other traveler conveniences.
Alaska observes all major U.S. holidays, as well as Sewards Day
on the last Monday in March and Alaska Day on October 18.
Almost all of Alaska is in the Alaska Time Zone, which is one
hour earlier than Pacic Time. The most western Aleutian Islands
and St. Lawrence Island are on Hawaiian-Aleutian Time.

The Iupiat community of Barrow is the
northernmost settlement in America and
one of the largest Eskimo communities.
As the seat of the 88,000 square-mile
(227,919 square km) North Slope Bor-
ough, Barrow is also the worlds largest mu-
nicipality. This far north, the summer sun
doesnt set for 82 days, shining continually
from May 10 to August 2.
Across from the Barrow airport lies the
Will Rogers and Wiley Post Monument
that commemorates the 1935 plane
crash that killed both the American
humorist and the famous pilot. Two
other monuments to the famous
pair, located at the crash
site 15 miles (24 km) south
of town, are on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Whaling and other subsistence activities
still play an important role in this arctic
community. In fact, during April and May,
visitors can often watch as Eskimos head
for their whaling camps.
Barrow has several hotels, restaurants and
other visitor services. There are shops
for visitors to purchase Eskimo clothing,
masks, baskets and dolls.
Two hundred miles east of Barrow is
Prudhoe Bay, home of the largest oil
eld in North America. The 800 mile
(1,287 km) Trans-Alaska Pipeline System
starts here and ends in Valdez.
Located 260 miles (418 km) northwest of
Fairbanks in the central Brooks Range lies
the village of Anaktuvuk Pass. This is the
last remaining settlement of the Nunamiut
or inland northern Iupiat Eskimo. Their
ancestors, who date back to 500 B.C.,
settled the village in this area because it
lies directly on a caribou migration route.
The local Simon Paneak Memorial Muse-
um operates year-round, offering geological
exhibits and Nunamiut cultural displays.
Local crafts, such as caribou skin masks,
are available for purchase.
Western Arctic
The communities of
Alaskas Far North are
accessible from Fair-
banks or Anchorage
via jet or small aircraft.
This is one of Alaskas
most diverse regions,
lled with cultural op-
portunities, wildlife and a landscape rang-
ing from coastal plains to mountain ranges.
Nome offers a variety of ways to enjoy
the Far Norths great outdoors. Accessible
by cruise ship and surrounded by tundra,
Nome provides access to nearly 300 miles
(482 km) of surrounding roads, where
visitors can explore the countryside and
discover pristine, untouched wilderness.
While exploring the Seward Peninsula
in the summers extended daylight hours,
youll have a chance to discover wildow-
ers, moose, reindeer, caribou, musk ox,
birds and seals. Nome offers excellent
shing for salmon, arctic char and grayling,
and is known for great seafood including
fresh crab and halibut.
In town, the Carrie McLain Museum
houses 14,000 historical photos and exhib-
its about Native culture, Eskimo art and
the gold rush. At the turn of the century,
prospectors sifted $3 million in gold from
Nomes sandy beaches. Today, visitors can
learn how to wield a gold pan, explore
abandoned gold dredges and participate in
sled dog demonstrations. Visitors also shop
for ivory carvings and crafts handmade by
local Eskimos.
Nomes most exciting annual event is the
conclusion of the Iditarod Trail Sled
Dog Race. The Last Great Race on Earth
is a 1,049 mile (1,688 km) race from
Anchorage to Nome. It begins on
the rst Saturday in March and
commemorates efforts to deliver
life-saving serum to Nome dur-
ing a diphtheria epidemic
in 1925.
St. Lawrence Island lies in
the Bering Sea, 200 miles
(321 km) west of Nome and
38 miles (61 km) from
Russia. The island has been
inhabited for several thou-
sands of years and its people are
descendents of Siberian-Yupik
Eskimos. St. Lawrence has two
villages, Gambell and Savoonga, where
Eskimos in both communities still preserve
traditional lifestyles.
Several archaeological sites near Gambell
are on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Bird watchers from around the world travel
to the island in search of Asiatic spe-
cies rarely found in North America. As a
special treat to visitors, on clear days the
mountains of Russia are visible.
Located 26 miles (42 km) above the
Arctic Circle, Kotzebue is one of Alaskas
largest and oldest Iupiat Eskimo villages.
As in many villages, Natives practice
traditional subsistence activities as well
as use modern technology. During the
summer, this arctic village receives 36
days of continuous daylight. Bird-
watching is superb this time of year,
so bring your binoculars. Millions
of migrating birds and waterfowl
arrive to nest in the thousands
of lakes on the tundra and river
deltas. Surrounding national
parks offer hiking trails and the
Kobuk, Noatak and Selawik rivers
are ideal for kayaking and rafting.

It is about 2,300 miles between Seattle
and Fairbanks and a leisurely drive up
the Alaska Highway takes, on average,
four to five days. Plan a minimum of two
weeks to ensure you have plenty of time to
explore our magnificent state. Check out
the camping facilities listed above as you
explore Alaska by road.
If you fly here, traveling time is
considerably shorter. Two days should be
allowed for traveling to and from Alaska,
with the rest of your vacation time left for
exploring The Great Land in a rented
RV/motorhome or car.
Many visitors are pleasantly surprised to
find that driving distances between Alaska
communities are not as long as anticipated,
so plan on including several side trips in
your itinerary. For more information about
highway travel, visit us at:

National Park Service
This agency within the U.S. Department of the
Interior manages more than 54 million acres of
parklands throughout Alaska. Alaskas National Parks
offer diverse experiences. See glaciers and wildlife
and enjoy hot springs, fishing, camping or hiking.
Interpretive programs offer an opportunity to learn
about traditional Native lifestyles and the history of
each area. Landscapes range from tundra to rainforests
and volcanoes to glaciers. Although some of Alaskas
National Parks can be reached by road, many are
accessible only by air or water taxi service.
www.nps.gov
Alaska State Parks
The Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (Alaska
State Parks) manages more than 130 park units spread
over 3.2 million acres. Parks range from scenic roadside
campgrounds to large wilderness parks.
www.dnr.state.ak.us/parks
Alaska Department of Fish & Game
The Alaska Department of Fish & Game manages state
refuges, critical habitat areas and sanctuaries for the
protection of fish and wildlife, their habitats and public
use of the areas. Usage is controlled to prevent habitat
changes that would be harmful to fish or wildlife
populations. Hunting, fishing, trapping and recreational
activities are encouraged so long as they are in
keeping with the primary reason for establishing
each special area.
www.adfg.state.ak.us
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
An agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior,
the BLM provides multiple use management for more
than 80 million acres. The BLMs mission is to sustain
the health, diversity and productivity of the public
lands for the use and enjoyment of present and
future generations. Pubic use cabins are available in
some areas.
www.ak.blm.gov
U.S. Forest Service
This agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture
is responsible for managing national forest land and
resources. There are just two national forests in Alaska
the Chugach and the Tongass but they are the
largest in the nation. The Chugach surrounds Prince
William Sound and is close to Anchorage. The Tongass
is in Southeast Alaska, surrounding Ketchikan, Sitka
and Juneau.
www.fs.fed.us/r10
More than half of the parklands in the United States
are found in Alaska. In all, Alaska contains 322 million
acres of public lands administered by federal, state and
municipal agencies.
Alaskas parks offer something for every type of
traveler wildlife viewing, camping, fishing, outdoor
photography, kayaking, mountain climbing, cross-country
skiing, hiking or nature walks. Include time in your Alaska
trip to visit Alaskas parklands. Marvel at glaciers more than
1 million years old, explore ancient rainforests or relax with
a picnic amid vast mountain ranges.

following agencies.
