Destination: Alaska - 25 Things to Do

[Jan115]

Alaska is truly the Last Frontier, and it can be hard to describe without using superlatives: Alaska is the biggest state and the northernmost state. It has the highest mountain and the most coastline. The biggest animals and the most sunlight. It’s a place where you can ski, fish, try new food, and take in the Northern Lights. It’s a state that has the best of nearly everything outdoor-related, but it also has thriving cities and lots of small towns with plenty of charm. Thought to be the first place humans crossed to North America using the Bering Land Bridge, Alaska also has a rich Native history, and today is home to nearly half of the federally-recognized tribes in the United States.
