What to do in Alaska?

The Northern Lights have made Alaska famous around the world.

Midway through September and all the way through April (with a peak in March), Alaska is a prime location for viewing the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis. In order to see the beautiful aurora borealis for which Alaska is famous, you'll need to get as far north as possible.

There are many more glaciers, fjords, geysers, beaches, and caves to be found than there are snow-capped mountains. Similarly, visitors to The Land of the Midnight Sun will have a blast exploring world-class art museums, rocking out at music festivals, and learning about Alaska's indigenous peoples.

Located in the northwestern part of the United States, Alaska is often referred to as the "Land of the Midnight Sun" because to its perpetual daylight. Alaska is a very large state. Seeing everything would take an infinite amount of time.

Because of its massive size, it exudes an abundance of sophistication. Alaska's landscapes are truly breathtaking.

Overall, Alaska is not as quiet and desolate as the average person may think.

Alaska is not just a destination for the winter.

Summertime is a great time to go paragliding over the lakes and climbing over mountain passes adorned with wildflowers.

The wide-open spaces invite exploration, no matter what kind of activity you're hoping to engage in.

The number of sandy shores, icy glaciers, steaming geysers, and dark caves far outnumbers the number of snowy peaks.

Every iceberg in the middle of nowhere has its own bar, restaurant, shop, museum, and theater.

For all that it has to offer, Alaska is a location that can only be completely appreciated over the course of multiple trips.

Experience some of the world's best music and art at one of the many festivals held throughout the year, or visit a museum dedicated to the ancient tribes whose petroglyphs helped pave the way for modern civilization.

The state's sparse population makes it ideal for intrepid explorers.

Cities may be interesting and unique in and of itself, but most visitors use them as launching pads from which to explore the surrounding area.
