Alaska Vacation – Visit the most untamed and beautiful state in the nation. Alaska is wild.

ALASKA
You can definitively say that there's no place like Alaska in the USA! It's the only state to border Canada to the south, not being part of the contiguous U.S. Approx. 65% of Alaska is owned and managed by the  federal government as public lands comprised of national forests, national parks, and national wildlife refuges.  Californians aren't known to tolerate cold weather (unless you live in the Sierra Nevada mountains, San Jacinto, or San Bernardino, for instance.) You may want to look for the warmest climate Alaska offers when visiting. As  the only region in Alaska in which the average daytime high temperature is above freezing during the winter months, the Southeast is  the wettest and warmest part of Alaska. Juneau averages over 50 in of precipitation annually, and Ketchikan averages over 150 inches. That's a lot of rain for Californians residing in desert climate. On the north Redwood Coast of Calif. you'll see 50 inches in an average year, however.

Welcome to Alaska and its wonderful hotels! Alaska hardly seems like it is part of the United States, but it is. Located above Canada, Alaska is the largest state in the US, is not bordered by any other US state, has more coastline than any other state, and is one of the wealthiest, most diverse states for population. Vacations to Alaska often happen by cruise ship or you can fly into its most popular, largest cities such as Juneau or Fairbanks where lovely hotels such as Millennium Alaska Hotel sits on the bay.

Winter events you might sink your icicle into include dog sled races, beaver round-ups and world ice art championships. Are you getting any idea that Alaska has ice and snow? Well there is a summer season to enjoy its warmer weather sports and fun and if you visit during the summer months (May – September) you might enjoy the Bald Eagle Music Festival, Sandhill Crane Festival, rodeos and fairs.

One of the finest trips for photo safaris, the animal opportunities include photographing bears, caribou, birds and landscapes that are dramatic and inspiring.
