From land to water to ice. Alaska was made for multisport. You need all the tools you can get - a bike, a kayak, your hiking boots - to understand and experience the incredible terrain. Journey to an extraordinary ice field on the hike of a lifetime. Bike into the interior on one of the area’s few roads. Kayak along the coast amid a gorgeous jumble of volcanoes and glaciers. Move through the landscape quietly, and "the locals" may show their faces: eagles, moose, sea otters, bears. Even if they don’t, you know they’re there, and somehow that’s enough.

    Alaska’s dramatic landscapes in one astonishing peninsula
    Hike Harding Icefield Trail, a spectacular route alongside Exit Glacier
    Homer, one of Alaska’s most beautiful towns
    Circumnavigate Yukon Island by kayak
    Watch for salmon swimming their annual migration upstream
