Epic landscapes, abundant wildlife and unforgettable adventures -
welcome to Alaska.
Whether you want to be awed by its jaw-dropping scenery, spend time in
the national parks, or learn about the rich historical roots of native
culture, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all
that Alaska has to offer.
Alaska is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. This vast state is chock-full
of national parks and public lands, all ripe for adventure. What's more,
every region has its own distinct terrain: roam barren tundra in the
Arctic, lush rainforests in the southeast and craggy peaks in the
Interior. But towns and cities dazzle, too. Top restaurants and Gold
Rush history abound in the state capital Juneau, while Ketchikan, home
to the world's largest display of totem poles, is the place to be for
native history and culture.
