Welcome to Alaska

The heart-stopping excitement of a tidewater glacier calving into the sea... the quiet majesty of a bald eagle soaring in a cloudless sky... snow-clad mountains towering over deep blue rivers... forested landscapes and glistening fjords... a legacy of cultural traditions... accessible on adventures that invite you to experience them up close and unhurried all in one epic destination.

Denali national park, "alaska: call of the wild" ~ "grand alaska" ~ "wild alaska".

"wild alaska".

Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is one of the best habitats in Alaska to see bears.

From a vantage point on the lake, you'll have an opportunity to see them – and photograph them – up close as they fish and forage along the riverbanks.

One of my greatest pleasures is sharing the history of the great state of Alaska in folk songs and stories...

Tracy Arm Fjord

"alaska's inside passage".

Ice calving, or the thunderous spectacle of ice breaking off from glaciers, is one of Alaska's natural wonders that is amazing to both watch and hear. Tracy Arm Fjord, approximately 50 miles southeast of Juneau, is about 30 miles long – and is home to some of Alaska's largest and most stunning glaciers. The scenery is breathtaking – waterfalls cascade, lush forests border the shores, and the ice glistens with myriad hues. Don't be surprised to find families of seals sunning themselves – and keep an eye open for orcas...
