Among the glaciers in Alaska, you can find spectacular nature reserves with vast expanses of wildlife and breathtaking views.
The most visited area in Alaska is the inner passage in southeast Alaska. The most impressive natural site in the area is Glacier Bay, an area of glaciers, deep fjords, forests, and wildlife.
The Central South Alaska region is also relatively touristy. This area is home to Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska and the only one to offer urban landscapes and skyscrapers alongside rich cultural life.
In central Alaska is the Denali National Park, featuring Mount McKinley—the highest peak in North America. The park is huge, containing glaciers, green glacial valleys, forests, Arctic prairie landscapes, mountains, lakes, meandering rivers, and a massive supply of wildlife—such as bears, wolves, and deer.
Southwest Alaska is the least visited area in the country, and the tourists who come to it mostly focus on the island of Kodiak, whose main attraction is a population of about 3,000 brown bears living in its territory.
Adventure enthusiasts will be happy to know that Alaska offers plenty of activities for adrenaline enthusiasts—such as hiking and climbing, boating in kayaks, glacier walking, flying over glaciers, whiskey, hikes, rafting, and more.
