Your Great Alaskan Adventure Starts Here: Your Alaska Travel Agency Experts
If you are participating in a trivia contest and the question is ‘which state is home to the easternmost point in the US’, the answer is Alaska. It is also home to the northern and westernmost points. The 49th state is the largest in the country and is home to 17 of the 20 tallest mountain peaks, more than 3000 lakes, over 34,000 miles of coastline, 100 volcanos, the 2 largest National Forests, and more glaciers than any other state. The Aurora Borealis, the northern lights, are visible on average 243 nights per year in Fairbanks. There are so many things that make Alaska unique that it is a perennial bucket list favorite!
There are many ways to explore the last frontier. Planes, trains, automobiles, and cruise ships are the easiest and most popular. Large ocean liners and smaller yachts explore the inside passage from spring through fall. Combine your cruise with a land package to visit a bit of the interior. If you would like to drive, like the rest of the country, Alaska has a well-designed highway system to allow you to explore at your own pace. If you would prefer to leave the driving to someone else, the state is home to some of the world’s most spectacular rail journeys. Want to travel further? There are several air and ferry services operating throughout the state.
Alaska is a year-round destination (pack your cold weather gear to see the northern lights!) that offers something for everyone. There are museums and cultural centers throughout the state that provide the opportunity to dig into Alaska’s geology, history, and artistic heritage. For shoppers, native-made crafts and jewelry are readily available in gift shops, galleries and even farmers’ markets. Where Alaska really shines, though, is for the outdoor enthusiast. Alaska is an outdoor paradise and it is no secret that most of its visitors want to get outside. Hiking, biking, kayaking, river rafting, fishing, mountain climbing and so many more activities provide explorers the opportunity to enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery and wildlife that the country has to offer.
Whether you decide to travel in the winter for the northern lights, the spring for the spry animals or summer for the amazing temperatures, it is never too soon to book your travel. The team at Avondale Travel makes it easy to customize the perfect itinerary for your Great Alaskan Adventure!
