THE WILD, WILD NORTH

Alaska's distinctive landscape is defined by millennia of slow change, from the glacial-paced movements of ice to the tectonic shifts of mountains and volcanoes. This wild state's national parks provide the perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the world's most impressive glaciers, fjords and wildlife.

GLACIAL PROPORTIONS

Most known for its glaciers, Glacier Bay National Park is also an ideal spot to watch for baby seals. Keep an eye out for mother seals depositing their little ones on floating chunks of ice while they hunt, but feel free to kayak through the icy waters nearby for a close look at these fierce animals.

WRANGELL UP THE WILD

Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest National Park in the United States, and it's home to the Hubbard Glacier, an imposing, active tidewater glacier. Spend the day cruising near this massive river of ice among graceful porpoises, or trek up one of the 5,400-metre volcanic mountains that line the park to see moose and bears. There's no shortage of adventure – or stunning views – in this national park.

KENAI SHOW YOU PARADISE?

If you're looking for a bit of everything, visit Kenai Fjords National Park, a 2,712-square-km location where the ocean touches mountains and massive glaciers. Board a smaller vessel for an up-close view of the park, where you can see groups of sea otters basking in the icy sunshine of Resurrection Bay, or board a flightseeing plane to get an eagle-eye view of paradise.

FIND HOME ON THE RANGE

Rising up from the Alaska Range in the heart of the state stands Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, which presides over Denali National Park. With more than six million acres of rugged, natural beauty, Denali National Park offers no shortage of adventure, from climbing the steep Polychrome Pass on the eastern side of the Polychrome Mountains to walking among the pine trees of the park's stunning taiga forest.

THERE'S GOLD IN THEM HILLS

At the end of the 19th century, the city of Skagway sprung into existence to support the Klondike Gold Rush prospectors. Catch a ride on the White Pass rail tour to travel on the route through the Boundary Ranges of northern Alaska, listening to guides tell the history of how prospectors sought their fortune.

KICK IT IN KATMAI

If you're hoping to explore Alaska by foot, check out the five miles of maintained trails winding throughout Katmai National Park and Preserve, or if you're even more adventurous, feel free to take a guided tour through the untouched parts of the wilderness park.
