Sitka is a world-class fishing destination. Salmon fishing is the #1 reason to go, but there's also giant Halibut, Ling Cod, and a few others. I've done trips with Island View, one of many companies that provides full accommodations in town plus a boat with crew and all equipment, it's really wonder…

An altogether pleasant place to land after a relaxing cruise to go salmon fishing. Something for both. My husband is a fisherman, and I love the cruise, so we compromise. He lets me have my beautiful cruise so that I can take all of the photographs that I would like and then I relax while he catc…

clwindom says:
Your trip will depend on where you fly into.
You can fly into Juneau (the capital) spend a day looking about the town. See the glacier, hike a mountain (or take our tram up one). I recommend eating at the Twisted Fish! They are only seasonal, but should be open until the end of September.
Then …

Ridiculously Expensive "General Tip & Advice" in Alaska, USA

joysailorlady says:
It is very expensive to travel and visit in Alaska. At last count milk was $8 a gallon!
Do not go into the bush by yourself, always tell someone when and where you are going and when you will return. There is a reason for this, it saves lives.
Fly into Anchorage,; rent a 4x4 and drive out to the K…

Went from Homer "across the bay" to Kachemak State Park for an awesome trip hiking and kayaking. Icebergs, glaciers, cool sea creatures, seafood soup and fresh fish, sea otters, seals, whales and eagles.... Sleeping in tents (watching out for bears) camp fires and 24 hours of light. Plus, NO ONE ELS…

Well, I finally decided to put this out there. I had a few people ask about traveling to Alaska and in some sense or another I sent them this information. But I figured I would put this out there for anyone to use, or add to, or make additional suggestion.
First, I should say that I'm not a '…

As I wrote in my Review about 'two weeks in Alaska', I recommended a couple books to purchase for your research and trip. One being the MilePost and the other being the Alaska Almanac, filled with facts about Alaska that you need to know, what to know, and never even thought of knowing, but are nei…

Alaska is Beautiful beyond belief, but you will enjoy taking all those outdoor pictures more if you pack warmer clothes. Those of us from the lower 48 get cold in our regular summer clothing. So pack for fall or spring. Long sleeves, Jeans, and jackets are a must for this picture/postcard state.(…

I spent three months this summer working in Juneau and float planing/helicoptering/ferrying to other places. I have to say that Juneau is a great place to visit but I would not want to live there. First of all during the summer downtown is VERY touristy, a max of 5 cruise ships dock right downtown…

Granted, I only had a short visit to this little town, barely enough time to scratch the surface, so take this like you would grain of salt. The early September day we were here it was raining and we did not have much more than an umbrella and light windbreaker. We walked from the northern most cr…

Alaska doesn’t have any really big cities, it just isn’t that kind of state. Fairbanks, with a population of about 30 to 35 thousand, is the largest inland city and the hub of much that goes on in the state and especially the inland regions. But don’t let the rather small size fool you, this…

Thgoroughly enjoyed this small town 5 miles from the coast of the Bering Sea. Transportation in summer is a bicycle, or walkinf. Both take place on the boardwalk since everything is located on the Tundra. In the winter, the transportation is a snow-mobile.

johndeverteuil says:
Flew into Anchorage from Atlanta. Northwest has always been the cheapest flight even last minute. There is the Homer Stage line that will take you from the Airport to anywhere on the Kenia peninsula. Yes even a mile marker. They make several stops on the way but it is interesting of who you meet.
