As far as bucket list trips, I personally think that Alaska should be on the top of everyone’s dream destination list. The Last Frontier has it all, incredibly diverse landscape, amazing wildlife, profound culture, and countless opportunities for active travel.
However, even if you are accustomed to traveling light and by the seat of your pants, Alaska travel takes a bit of planning, even for the savviest traveler. Sure, heading to some of the major cities could be relatively easy. But, who wants easy when exploring the Last Frontier?
Alaska travel is all about adventure and to make the most out of any type of travel to this gorgeous state, a few Alaskan Travel Resources can really make the difference. Before you take off on your own Alaskan adventure, take a look at some of our favorite apps for Alaska Travel below.
