Alaska - Best of the Greatland

A few more reasons why you've gotta go…

  1. The Kenai Fjords nature cruise: it's one of the premier marine wildlife tours in North America.
  2. The seclusion of Fox Island: there's no sign of man as far as the eye can see.
  3. Travel along Crow Creek Pass: stand atop of it in awe of how it was once part of the original Iditarod Trail.
  4. Seward's Sea Life Center: born from the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill, the center offers an up-close view of real-life animal rescue.
