Take A “Deep-Dive” into All Things Alaska

Alaska is HUGE. With 660 thousand acres and less than a million people, you can get happily "lost" amongst its many lakes, glaciers and mountains, outnumbered by the state's diverse wildlife and maybe a bit star-struck by Alaska's mind-numbing beauty.

Last month, we gave you our tips for travelers who have their 2021 cruises cancelled, and this month we'd like to share some of our best recommendations for the many self-drive itineraries available for visitors who love a great road trip! Whether your budget is large or small, a self-drive trip allows you and your companions to maximize your Alaska experience on land as you travel from point-to-point to various natural, historic and cultural highlights, while allowing you to set your own pace every step of the way. And our experts at Alaska Tours can also take any of our itineraries and easily customize them for you with additional excursions and attractions as you wish.

We also love to share our knowledge of Alaska trivia and factoids you might not be familiar with. Adding a scavenger hunt to you Alaska vacation or an Alaska quiz for your kids following your family trip, just might be the perfect addition to your escape north! If so, you'll love our recent story about the origins of some famous (and not so famous) Alaskan town nicknames.

Take a look at our Great Alaska Road Trip if you might like a great self-drive tour, starting in the farmlands of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley surrounded by 3 Alaskan mountain ranges and continuing on through the wilderness and wildlife of Denali National Park. After a stay at Knik River Lodge, you'll head south to Alaska's seacoast to explore the many treasures of Kenai Fjords National Park.

Our Circle Alaska Adventure Tour is another option especially for those who need constant stimulation! With train rides on the Alaska Railroad, views of Denali, panning for gold and riverboat cruises in Fairbanks and even dogsled rides, you and your travel companions will experience first-hand, the rich diversity of adventure Alaska delivers for visitors of all ages. You'll drive into Wrangell St Elias National Park, explore Valdez and then head south to Seward for a wildlife cruise into Kenai Fjords National Park.

Don't let pandemic lockdowns get you down. Alaska is the perfect antidote for the post-COVID blues and for anyone with a love of life and the outdoors - with a big helping of curiosity and fun on top.
