Things to do in Alaska & national park camping

There are so many things to do in Alaska, it might be hard to fit it all in one trip. Alaska is home to several national parks: Kenai Fjords, Wrangell St.-Elias, Denali National Park, Katmai, and Glacier Bay Preserve, to name only a few. Alaska’s national parks are home to diverse landscapes and wildlife, but are not the only place to spot bears, elk, eagles, and more. You can also add hiking, biking, fishing, and climbing to your list of summer activities in Alaska, with national park camping. You will probably pass through some of Alaska’s cities, as they are the easiest accessible travel hubs, like Anchorage, in Alaska. But don’t let the different things to do in Anchorage or things to do in Juneau distract you from the real highlights and places to visit in Alaska. Alaska’s backcountry offers unique outdoor experiences, with trail systems that wind through state and national parks. There are trails for all ages and abilities, from easy nature paths to challenging mountain summits, with everything in between. Or get to know Alaska’s waters and discover some of the most spectacular freshwater, saltwater, and fly-fishing in the world! Alaska is home to over three million lakes, 12,000 rivers, and thousands of more fish-filled streams. Of course, come winter, summer greens turn to icy whites and a whole new host of activities is possible. Dog sledding or dog mushing, cross-country skiing, the aurora borealis, and more, entice visitors each year to come and brave Alaska’s cold winter temperatures. Regardless of the season that you decide to visit, you can rest assured our selection of Alaska cabin rentals and more will keep you comfortable!
