One of the best reasons to visit Alaska is to discover the many experiences you can have in this remote corner of America which are just much harder (if not impossible) to find elsewhere.

From the midnight sun to the northern lights, tundra flora to Alaskan wildlife and fauna, Alaska is a wealth of opportunity for anyone who craves an adventure. There is so much to do here that even a few days in Alaska is like a week away spent anywhere else. And one of the many reasons we love being in this business is being able to introduce travelers to the many surprises in store for them when they arrive up North. This month, we focus on Spring, highlighting the many benefits associated with this less-populated (but secretly popular) shoulder season.

For those looking for a last minute May 2022 getaway, we recommend our Great Alaska Road Trip, a self-driving adventure featuring the wildlife and marine life of Kenai Fjords National Park, Denali National Park and the Matanuska Valley with a stay at Knik River Lodge, a home base for amazing helicopter flights with glacier landings.

Out of hibernation, we’re seeing more frequent Spring sightings of brown and black bears now and so, this month, we feature our myth-busting, deep dive into true (versus false) grizzly bear tales. Did you know that  there are about 20 times more grizzlies in Alaska than in the entire Lower 48 states? Time to bone up on your bear trivia!

Speaking of wildlife, you simply can’t go wrong on a visit to Kenai Fjords National Park. Check out our Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise where you just might experience some world-class Spring whale watching as Humpback and Orca whales migrate through the Gulf of Alaska to their feeding grounds.

Whatever your passions, Alaska is a great place to let them run wild and discover new “ah HAs!” you never knew existed.
