       known for its long summer days, dog
       mushing and Northern Lights in winter.

       National Park and Preserve, home to the
       tallest mountain in North America and six
       million acres of prime hiking and wildlife
       viewing territory. Seward, Skagway and
       Juneau are ports for many cruises to
       Alaska’s glacial wonderlands.
