Outdoor Recreation in Alaska

 
Alaska Lodging

Alaskan hospitality is some of the finest in the world. Everywhere you plan on staying during your visit to the 49th state will, more often than not, have a smiling face waiting to greet you. The accommodations whether in a city or remote are very respectable. If you feel you will need to book time in an igloo, you are clearly mistaken. Alaska accommodates over 1 million visitors annually.

If you choose to stay in a bed and breakfast, you are choosing a truly unique experience. Whether you just want privacy or choose to interact with the proprietors, it is a very rewarding experience. If you have never stayed in a bed and breakfast, it is a nice change from a hotel and a nice escape from the crowds. Depending on the area, you are likely to be surprised, in a good way, at the cost of a bed and breakfast compared to a hotel or resort.

For those who truly want to witness a unique Alaska experience should book their vacation at one of the many wilderness lodges scattered throughout Alaska. Although be forewarned... a hefty price tag can come with one of these vacation packages especially the more remote the lodge is. Celebrities such as comedian Jim Carey, former president Jimmy Carter, and former football great Larry Csonka are known to frequent these lodges to either escape from the limelight or to take advantage of the serene wilderness surroundings while wetting a fishing line. Regardless of the reasons, anyone who chooses this type of backwoods adventure will return with an entirely new respect for mother nature. You will cry if you forget your camera!

The largely traveled areas like Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and Valdez have numerous hotels and resorts as well as bed and breakfasts. During the summer months, the big resorts and hotels fill up fast. If you insist on staying in a hotel, it is highly recommended that you book early.

Enjoy your stay!
