Alaska travel guide

The great outdoors doesn’t get any greater than Alaska. The Alaskan wilderness has bewitched travellers, writers and explorers for centuries and it’s easy to see why

Related Content

Wildlife rather than roadworks holds up the traffic in Alaska, and rivers are chock-a-block with tasty salmon. In the south of Alaska, feast your eyes on the majestic hunks of ice at Glacier Bay National Park or learn how to catch salmon from the brown bears at Brooks Falls.

If you want to get your heart rate up, try cycling Alaska’s Denali Highway or head out on a canoe adventure down the Yukon River. Visit Fairbanks in mid-September and you might just be lucky enough to see the northern lights in all their glory.

Wanderlust recommends

  • Lose the world in Wrangell-St Elias National Park, Alaska
  • Get the ultimate view of the northern lights in Wiseman, Alaska
  • Ride the Yukon Railway for stunning vertigo-inducing scenery
  • Follow in the bootsteps of gold-rush pioneers on the Chilkoot Trail
  • Meet the colourful characters riding the ferry between the remote Aleutian Islands

Wanderlust tip

Alaska isn’t always chilly: between June and August it can be almost balmy. However, it’s wise to pack plenty of layers and lots of mosquito repellent – locals call the mosquito the ‘Alaska State bird’.
