LAND ADVENTURES IN BEAUTIFUL ALASKA By Judie Karhan
Alaska, the Great Land, is truly a wilderness adventure beyond any other. With towering mountains covered by evergreen forests, glistening lakes and an astounding array of wildlife that can be encountered seemingly anywhere in the region, this is a destination to experience at least once in
a lifetime.
In the spring and summer months, scores of
passenger ships cruise Alaska’s famous Inside Passage and other tributaries, but beyond these shores there is much to explore in the interior of this enormous state, which is almost one-fifth the size of the entire United States.
In Denali National Park & Preserve, which sprawls six million acres, wild animals – large and small – roam unfenced lands, living as they have for ages. By way of motor coach, sightseers are sure to catch glimpses of foraging caribou, Dall sheep, foxes, moose, wolves, brown bears, and even grizzlies. While this park exploration is a wilderness experience, visitors needn’t sacrifice their creature comforts. Tours of Denali feature a luxury railcar ride to the park, home of the famous Mt. McKinley, and wilderness lodges within the park are exceptionally comfortable.
Escorted land tours, such as those offered by
Travel Impressions, also feature overnight stays in the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks. In Anchorage, take a tour of the city, including the historic downtown district, and visit the Anchorage Museum,
which preserves, exhibits and interprets the art and history of Alaska. On Travel Impressions’ Ultimate Alaska Winter Wonderland Tour, guests arriving in Fairbanks can
even take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy Aurora Borealis viewing, depending on weather and solar activity.
If you would like to combine a
cruise with a tour of Alaska, this option is available with various cruise lines. In 2017, Princess Cruises will offer four types of Alaska Land & Sea Vacations featuring seven-day cruises with three to eight nights on land. In addition to venturing into Denali National Park, the tours include excursions to Wrangell-St. Elias, America’s largest national park, and/or Kenai Fjords National Park, which affords
visitors stunning views of dramatic fjords teeming with wildlife. Princess Cruises also offers flexible extended-stay packages in the cities of Anchorage, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.
Why not make 2017 the year to see wild and woolly Alaska? Call or visit the AAA Northampton County office and let our travel department get you started on your way.
