Sightseeing Highlights
Anchorage
A young city founded in 1915, Anchorage is a vibrant city of just over 300,000 people. From its humble origins as a railroad town for the Alaska Railroad, the largest city in Alaska maintains its frontier history in an idyllic mountain setting.
Northern Lights Excursions
Search for the Northern Lights (aurora borealis), and wait to witness the sky erupt in a riot of ethereal colors. Alaska is an ideal place to seek out the legendary northern lights. The best time to catch them is after 10:00 p.m. and before 2:00 a.m., with an expert guide and a mug of hot chocolate.
Winter Glacier Cruise
The best way to see the majestic glaciers of Alaska is to get up-close-and-personal on a winter glacier cruise. As you sail to viewing points unavailable by land, watch as icebergs calve from the ice with a crack, rumble, and a splash.
Prince William Sound
Located off the Gulf of Alaska divided by a string of islands, the Prince William Sound offers ideal opportunities to see massive tidewater glaciers and the marine life that lives around them. The Sound is home to dozens of glaciers, as well as otters, seals, and sea lions.
Talkeetna
This historic village is the go-to travel destination for avid mountain climbers. Situated at the bottom of Denali, the highest mountain peak in North America, Talkeetna serves as a base for climbers. Aside from its athletic draw, visitors can browse art galleries, local trades, and even the historic Nagley 's General Store (almost 100 years old!) With a population of less than 900 people, Talkeetna is a genuine Alaskan small town.
Alaska Railroad
The Alaska Railroad offers a scenic journey through the rugged landscapes of southern Alaska. Have your camera ready as you pass by snowcapped mountains and dramatic valleys - your conductor will point out wildlife as you travel from Talkeetna to Fairbanks. The historic railroad has operated since 1914.
Fairbanks
A home rule city in the state of Alaska, Fairbanks is the largest city in the Interior region. The city of Fairbanks was founded by Captain E. T. Barnette in August 1901 while headed to Tanacross, where he intended to set up a trading post. Fairbanks has a history of gold mining, which dates back to when it was founded. In 1939, major infrastructure in the territory occurred for the first time, in part of a larger effort by the federal government during the New deal and World War II, which fostered an economic and population boom in Fairbanks. The city of Fairbanks is home to a number of attractions and events which draw visitors from outside of Alaska throughout the year.
Dog Mushing
Dog mushing is an iconic Alaskan sport and/or transportation method powered by dogs. A team of trained, athletic dogs are directed by a human musher on a sled, traversing snowy lands. Dog mushing has been a part of Alaskan life since long before it was even a state. This is sometimes still the best way to travel around rural communities today.
Overview
Take a snowy peek into Alaska. Visit the friendly local towns of the last frontier and bond with energetic sled dogs. Experience a winter glacier cruise among drifting icebergs and playful otters. Spend one night at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, taking in unparalleled views of Denali and the Alaskan Range. Glimpse into the past at Musk Ox Farm. Search for the northern lights in Fairbanks ' star-filled sky. Step into another time at the Antique Auto Museum, where vintage cars sit between timely artifacts and fashionable designer dresses. Travel via Alaska Railroad, take in a landscape of natural beauty, and connect with a deeply rooted heritage.
