Anchorage, Alaska Sep 14, 2022 (Issuewire.com) - With over 665,400 mi² of land, Alaska is the largest state in the U.S., and it’s full of adventure-seekers who love to explore its wildlife and natural beauty from the comfort of their own tents and sleeping bags!
If you’re thinking about taking your vacation to Alaska, but aren’t sure where to start, here is Heidi Blair Anchorage Alaska's ultimate guide to Alaska and all it has to offer! Including helicopter tours and camping out in Denali National Park, but there are plenty of other adventures to be had in this amazing state, as well! From long hikes up mountains to learning about the wildlife in Anchorage to visiting the astonishing glaciers that are found on the outskirts of Fairbanks, Alaska has something to offer everyone!
Hiking in Denali National Park is an unforgettable experience. Heidi Blair recommends a day hike with a picnic lunch, so you can really soak up the beautiful scenery and enjoy the views of the park without too much exertion. You should also make sure that you have appropriate footwear because some trails may require special equipment such as crampons or snowshoes.
You'll need plenty of water, food, and warm clothing for your hikes; pack snacks that are easy to carry like granola bars or applesauce packets so you won't have to worry about packing too many supplies for your hike. Be aware that mosquitoes will be out during warmer months, so Heidi Blair recommends bringing bug spray. One thing you shouldn't forget is to bear spray because there are bears in the area and it's not uncommon to see them on these hikes.
If you love adventure, take a helicopter tour of the state. You'll be able to see majestic mountains, and volcanoes, and get an up-close view of glaciers. For those interested in a more relaxing and peaceful flight experience, consider taking one of the many scenic tours. Regardless of what kind of helicopter tour you choose, you'll have memories that will last a lifetime!
Denali National Park is home to some of the most iconic wildlife in North America, including brown bears, mountain goats, caribou, and moose. One of the best ways to spot these animals is by dog sledding; tourists can either rent their own sled or join a tour group for a morning or afternoon.
Either way, this activity provides an incredible opportunity to explore the park up close and personal. There are many other adventures one can experience in this great state, as well! Hiking on glaciers is a thrilling adventure that will lead you across crevasses, ice-falls, waterfalls, and more.
Katmai National Park & Preserve, on the remote Gulf of Alaska coast in southwestern Alaska, features some of the world's most active volcanoes and dramatic displays of native wildlife.
Denali, the tallest mountain in North America at 20,310 feet (6,190 meters), is a perfect destination for hikers and climbers year-round!
You might even be able to see an aurora borealis if you're lucky!
Be sure to pack lots of layers because it can get very cold in Winter, but also bring plenty of water because it can get very hot too in summer! If you’re looking for ways to experience Alaska off the beaten path, ask your local tour guide about bush planes and kayaking trips as well!
The best places to camp in Alaska include Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, Gates of the Arctic National Park, and Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Misty Fjords Wilderness Area. There are many opportunities for amazing camping experiences. These parks offer a variety of scenery that ranges from beaches, mountains, rivers, forests, and glaciers. Each park offers a unique experience depending on what you are looking for in your adventure.
Outdoor gear will be essential for the cooler days in the interior, where hiking and exploring can involve considerably more snow. In addition to sturdy boots and a good coat, it is best to pack down-insulated clothing, wool or fleece sweaters, and socks for extra warmth and bring all of your supplies in a backpack instead of a suitcase, as baggage fees are not refundable. Make sure to pack your camera! Alaska has so many photo opportunities that you'll want to capture on film.
Don't forget your swimsuit if you're looking for something fun and active to do during summer vacation in this state!
