National Parks
There are 8 National Parks in Alaska - all of them unique and spanning an incredible amount of land. From the tallest peak in North America to the largest National Park in the entire U.S., you can find amazing adventures in each and every single one of them. Even though some are much easier to reach than others (and cheaper) if you're able to visit them all you'll have crossed off an incredible adventure of a lifetime.
1. Denali National Park : Best to see the peak of Denali (only 30% of visitors do!) and wildlife like Grizzlies, Caribou, and Moose! Very easy to visit by booking a campsite inside the park or booking a bus tour.
2. Gates of the Arctic National Park : A fly-in park located in the Brooks Range. Best for incredible arctic views, exploring with no roads or trails, and seeing wildlife like Dall Sheep, Bears, Wolves, and Caribou.
3. Glacier Bay National Park : A fly-in or cruise-in park, most visitors do not get off to explore but rather cruise through the waters here. Best for incredible glacier views that covers over 3.3 million acres. You can see plenty of marine wildlife like seals, whales, sea lions, and otters just to name a few.
4. Katmai National Park : A personal favorite of mine, this fly-in National Park is renowned around the world for it's incredible population of Grizzly Bears. You can visit the exact spot of the live bear cams (Brooks Falls) and see Grizzly Bears up close in their natural habitats.
5. Kenai Fjords National Park : Another favorite of mine, this National Park is best explored via a Major Marine Cruise or by hiking to Exit Glacier & Harding Ice Field.
6. Kobuk Valley National Park : Another fly-in National Park located in the Arctic of Alaska, Kobuk Valley is known for its incredible, annual caribou migration.
7. Lake Clark National Park : And another fly-in National Park of Alaska, this is an excellent to base at if you're looking for some incredible hikes, wanting to see the coastal brown bears, or if you're wanting to visit the renown Dick Proenneke Cabin.
8. Wrangell St. Elias National Park : One of my favorite National Parks in all of Alaska, I recommend planning at least a few days to explore. You can visit the abandoned Kennecott Mine, walk out onto Root Glacier, and explore the town of McCarthy.
