Map of Alaska

Alaska is truly “America's Last Frontier”.

With its rugged topography and unexplored corners, parts of Alaska remain pristine, wild, and remote. While the Lower 48 might see Alaska as a far-away frozen wilderness, it s just a mere 3 ½ hour flight from Seattle to cosmopolitan Anchorage. Its climate is as varied as its landscape. Its southern region is temperate and comparable to Washington State's Puget Sound. Only in the northern part of the state does the climate turn truly “polar”. With North America's highest mountain, stunning waterfalls, steep-sided fjords, stories-high glaciers, inland waterways, virgin rain forests, and a multitude of recreational pursuits to choose from, Alaska beckons with the promise of once-in-a-lifetime discoveries.
