Alaska Travel Forum & Alaska Tourism News: Alaska is larger than the US States of Texas, California, and Montana combined. At its center is the mighty Yukon River and 20,320 foot Mount McKinley. Grizzly bears fish in salmon-choked streams, large polar bears may be observed on icebergs, whales breech, and migrating tundra swans fly past vast herds of caribou.
Anchorage with a population of over 250,000's is the bustling metropolis with good restaurants and modern accommodations. The city is also the gateway for all adventure trips. Bounded by the Brooks Range to the north and the mighty Alaska Range to the south, the Interior is home to Mt. McKinley - the highest mountain in North America. Southeast Alaska encompasses the Inside Passage and magnificent Glacier Bay. The Kenai Peninsula is home to Prince William Sound and Homer and provides nearly all that the state has to offer: great fishing, hiking, rafting, and wildlife viewing
