It covers more than 1,400 miles north to south and 2,400 miles east to west. To understand the depth and breadth of Alaska, you must travel to the interior, to a vast, unspoiled wilderness that confounds the imagination. Traveling the Alaska Railroad aboard luxury railcars is a carefree way to make every mile count.

Alaskan Seasons

When planning your Alaska vacation, don't forget to always consider the weather. Alaska's climate is diverse and can range from sunny temperatures in the 80's to freezing temperatures at night. The best strategy is to bring clothes that are suited to layering. This will offer the greatest flexibility in adapting your clothing to the conditions of the day.

Alaska is Glacier Heaven

In the final great period of the Ice Age, half of Alaska was buried in the ice. Today, about 10,000 years later, five percent remains locked in a frozen world. More than 100,000 glaciers in Alaska continue to shape the landscape in every way, carving mountains, depositing fertile silt in valleys, and crashing into the sea. Your Alaska travel isn't complete until you've witnessed their glittering majesty.
