subject: Alaskan Vacations - You Can Make It Your Own Journey To Your Dreams [print this page] Alaskan vacations can be the perfect place for just about anyone to visit. The stunning beauty of the mountains meeting the water calls to the outdoorsman and camera type alike. The city life brings some to life in Juneau or Anchorage. Wildlife abounds from highest peak to lowest depths. The streams teem with salmon and have bears waiting in the buffet line. Caribou migrate across the interior finding food and moving with the seasons. Whale and orca dance in the ocean's waves. The traveler may have trouble knowing which way to go.
Physical challenges await many on Alaskan vacations. Before you step shore, deep sea fishing may keep you occupied. You can try your hand at catching halibut or salmon. If fishing interests you but you want more challenges, head for the lakes and streams inland. Trout and migrating salmon await your line and bait. Want a physical challenge? Take an expedition to the top of some of the highest peaks on the North American continent. When you want to come down, grab a raft and hit some white water. After catching your breath, grab your clubs and go out for a round of midnight golf.
Nature calls to those that want to see it personally. Alaskan vacations abound with just about every type of creature you can think of. The sea meets the land where glaciers fall to the ocean. These deep fjords beckon the camera flash. You can see dolphins jumping amongst ice bergs that have fallen from glacier flows. The sky is rich with eagles. The sides of the fjord walls may give you a brief glimpse of a mountain goat or two. The interior of Alaska is beautiful as well. Meadows house caribou and bear alongside wolf. The slops gradually ascend to snowy white peaks that seem to touch heaven.
Once you get back from the wilderness, Alaskan vacations can give you a touch of world class luxury as well. You can find shopping and culture in the larger cities of Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Juneau. Smaller towns can give you a touch of local flavor along with the freshest food in the state. For a slow journey, take a train and see the landscape unfold around you. You can find coastal waters easy sailing in a chartered yacht. Cruises are popular options for those in the mood to sail and sleep in luxury. Take a moment and look to Alaska.
