In Seward, Alaska, monumental scenery surrounds you: glaciers calve, whales cruise icy waters, and Kenai Fjords National Park rises with fjords, peaks, and the Harding Icefield. Visit Holgate Glacier by kayak or boat for striking blue-white ice and dramatic calving. Nearby Anchorage offers a stark city contrast, and the region also invites you to learn about the culture and heritage of Alaska's First Nation peoples.

Juneau offers dramatic wilderness and glacier adventures. Mendenhall Glacier flows from the Juneau Icefield, just 12 miles from downtown, while Taku Glacier cuts deeply into the mountains. The city feels isolated, surrounded by forests and steep peaks, best seen from the Mount Roberts Tramway. Explore by sightseeing flight, kayak, snow-sled, or fishing. Bears, bald eagles, and humpback whales add to the spectacle.

Skagway still captures the excitement of the Gold Rush: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park and historic downtown preserve the 1890s boomtown spirit. Beyond its history, it offers dramatic scenery-snowy peaks, pine forests, waterfalls, deep gorges, rivers full of salmon, brown bears, bald eagles, whales offshore, and nearby glaciers. Ride the White Pass & Yukon Route for one of the world's great rail journeys, or hike the Chilkoot Trail in the footsteps of gold seekers.

Sitka offers bears, wild landscapes, icy adventures, and rich wildlife in the Inside Passage: eagles, whales, sea lions, and Pacific salmon. See St. Michael's Church, a reminder of Russian rule before the 1867 Alaska purchase, and visit Sitka National Historical Park for Tlingit culture and totem poles marking the 1804 clash with Russians. Mount Edgecumbe rises like Fuji, Kruzof Island offers scenic hikes, and you can also fly, fish for king salmon, or dine on Northwest frontier cuisine.

Ketchikan, Alaska-the "Salmon Capital of the World"-is a gateway to the Inside Passage and Misty Fjords National Monument, best seen by cruise or scenic flight. Spot grizzlies, black bears, whales, seals, eagles, and more in the rainforest and rugged inlet landscape. Visit the Heritage Centre for the world's largest collection of Tlingit and Haida totem poles, then explore historic Creek Street, once the city's red-light district, plus Dolly's House and the Married Man Trail.
