Anchorage
While it’s not the capital city, Anchorage is the biggest town in Alaska. Nearly half of Alaska’s inhabitants reside in or around the city, and Anchorage is the center of business in Alaska.
It has all the comforts of a major US city, but it is 30 minutes from the Alaskan wilderness.
You can begin your trip in Anchorage by visiting the Anchorage Museum of History and Art, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, or the Alaska Native Heritage Center.
You can also follow the Seward Highway to Potter’s Marsh to enjoy incredible bird watching or embark on an adventure through the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail.

Denali National Park
Alaska, from the perspective of a particular point, is all about mountains. Therefore, you’ll need to visit Denali National Park for the first time in Alaska.
The park is filled with evergreen forest and an immense tundra wilderness, making a stunning natural landscape that makes a trip to this park among the desirable activities in Alaska.
Denali National Park is also home to Denali (formerly Mount McKinley), the highest peak in North America. This peak will provide breathtaking views for your walks through the park, especially if it opens its face from the cloak of clouds.

In the “the” Panhandle of Alaska is the Glacier Bay National Park, an iconic spot where you can admire glaciers, enjoy the outdoors, and spot wildlife.

Ketchikan
One of our favorite destinations at Amour within Alaska is Ketchikan.
Ketchikan is the salmon capital of the world and Alaska’s very first city in the state. It is where cruise ships usually stop at the beginning or the end. The town is situated in the Inside Passage in southern Alaska. This frontier town was once flourishing in the days of the gold rush.
As you stroll through the boardwalks along the historic Creek Street, you can discover landmark structures in the red light district dating back to the 1800s.

Kodiak
It is located about 30 miles away from the Alaskan shoreline; Kodiak Island (also known as the Emerald Isle) is the second-largest in the nation.
While Kodiak Island is ideally known for its excellent bear viewing possibilities (the Kodiak bear is found only on Kodiak Island and its surrounding islands), it also draws people hoping to view gray whales or Steller sea lions and wandering bison.
If you cannot take advantage of Kodiak’s abundance of wildlife viewing, you can take a scenic drive through Chiniak Highway.
Chiniak Highway for beautiful views of black sand beaches, salmon streams, and unspoiled Alaskan wilderness.
