Endless summer days await you in the Great Land of Alaska. See coastal communities come alive, where you can whale watch, sea kayak, and join fishing excursions. Enjoy hiking and rafting through the rivers and mountains of Alaska’s Interior. Immerse yourself in the vibrant festivals and traditions of Alaska Native culture. With longer days, there are simply more amazing experiences to be had!
Hike through rugged landscapes, marvel at gigantic glaciers, and enjoy the solitude of being in one of the least-visited and largest national parks in the United States at 13 million acres. Explore this massive preserve on foot, by boat, or from the skies, and keep an eye out for the local fauna.
If you’re planning a trip to Alaska, you’ll want to make sure a visit to Denali National Park is in your itinerary. With only one road entering the 6 million acres of protected land, the park experience allows visitors to intimately observe this beautiful area and the wildlife that makes this habitat their home. Speaking of homes, you’ll want a home base for your adventures. The Denali Bluffs Hotel and Grande Denali Lodge are the perfect place to start and end your day while you explore the area.

Alaska is a huge state. Even in person, you can’t seem to grasp the scale of everything you’re experiencing. I’ve never felt so small in comparison to my surroundings, yet the grandeur makes you feel larger than life. What made us feel even smaller? Exploring from the air on an Alaska float plane tour.
