Alaska tourism features diverse wilderness and cultural experiences, including cruising the Inside Passage and exploring various national parks. Visitors can observe glacier calving at Glacier Bay National Park or view wildlife such as humpback whales, sea otters, and mountain goats along rocky shorelines.

In Denali National Park, travelers can view North America’s tallest peak and observe grizzlies, caribou, and wolves through guided tours or park shuttle buses. Scenic travel options include the Alaska Railroad between Anchorage and Denali, flightseeing trips to view volcanic craters and remote glaciers, and visits to historic towns such as Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan.
