Southeast Alaska: Glaciers, Whales & Wilderness Adventure
Explore Southeast Alaska's vast wilderness, from Juneau to Glacier Bay National Park
Granite fiords, immense glaciers, abundant wildlife, charming ports and over 44,000 miles of coastline - more then the rest of the US combined - Alaska is all of this, and more.
Travel by foot, bike, kayak, boat, train, ferry and bush plane across Southeast Alaska, deep into a rugged frontier where land vehicles simply won't cut it. Begin in Juneau, the state capital, rich in fishing, mining and Russian fur trading history. Kayak the Icy Strait in search of whales, dolphins and sea lions and cruise through Glacier Bay National Park in the company of park rangers eager to point out the Bay's thriving flora and fauna. At Mendenhall, strap on your crampons and spend a day exploring the most pristine and remote areas of the glacier. Traverse the famous White Pass and Yukon Route by train and savor a plate of world-famous Alaskan salmon before calling it a night in the comfort of your charming bed & breakfast or lodge.
