 "Alaska.
Imagine your vacation in Alaska for one moment. Your delight when you spot
a grizzly bear with a cub or two in tow. That instant when the silence of
a misty fjord is shattered by a pod of giant humpback whales, breaching
high into the air, then crashing back against the sea. While your
floatplane flies over crystal glaciers, toward the midnight sun, remember:
This is Alaska. This is real. This is the adventure of a lifetime." (From
the official Travel Alaska
website.)
Inside Passage Region
Alaska's Inside Passage region features lush island scenery
and fjords teeming
with wildlife, including bald eagles, sea lions, porpoises
and whales. Majestic
mountains are carpeted with thick forests. The region
is home to the Tlingit,
Haida and Tsimshian
Indians, whose history is carved in giant totem poles.
Southcentral Region
World-class fishing, hiking and wildlife viewing await you in
this region, home of
over half of the state's population. The region boasts
remote mountain
wilderness and lakes, yet is accessible by road. Rivers
and lakes teem with
world-class rainbow trout and salmon. The Southcentral
region is both wild and
refined, serving as a gateway for your wilderness experience.
Interior Region
Mt. McKinley stands tall in this heartland of Alaska,
towering over wide
expanses of tundra. The region is rich in wildlife,
including the magnificent
grizzly and massive herds of caribou, as well as bird life,
including the state bird,
the Winter Ptarmigan. Wildlife is visible from the
highway that runs alongside
Denali National Park. In winter the
northern lights are visible. This region is
also rich in mining history.
Far North
The Far North is home to the Inupiat Eskimos, many who still
live in the same
way their ancestors did, carrying on lifestyle traditions.
The Gates of the Arctic
National Park and Preserve is located here, and the
history of the region includes
the Gold Rush. Travel by air is necessary to visit this
region of Alaska.
Southwest
This is a region for outdoor enthusiasts. Brown bears
live here among the hills
and plains, and over 200 bird species call the area home.
The terrain ranges from
the volcanoes of
Katmai National Park to the windswept
Aleutian Islands.
