When you think of an Alaska outdoor adventure, it brings a nice image to mind doesn't it? The thought of Alaska fishing while spending your outdoor adventure at one of Alaska's many wilderness lodges is enough to send the most prejudice serenity seeker clamoring for an Alaska outdoor adventure package. Maybe you would rather explore. Backpacking, hiking, climbing, sea kayaking, whitewater rafting and bicycling are all very popular forms of outdoor recreation. In the winter you can even enjoy a dog sledding experience, or if you're the extreme type, you can find skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling to be some of the finest you've ever experienced.

Some people come to ride horses in the backcountry, watch the migration of caribou through the Brooks Range, cruise the Inside Passage, pan for gold, fish for record salmon and halibut, or take part in cultural events and festivals celebrating the state's heritage.

The state's visitor industry offers options to accommodate the comfort level of travelers of all ages and physical abilities. Most visitors find time to take in flightseeing, walking tours of historical areas, a day of sportfishing, hiking, bear viewing, skiing, or special events such as the Golden Days Parade in Fairbanks, the Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage, the Little Norway Festival in Petersburg, or the end of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race at Nome. Each community has its own traditions, and visitors are welcome to participate in events.
