Alaska can overwhelm you when you least expect it. The Alaska Airlines' Anchorage-Juneau milk run is a three-hour flight that leapfrogs between towns, spending no more than a half hour in the air at a time. If you're blessed with a high pressure system, Flight 66 is more than just transportation; it's one of Alaska's best flightseeing tours.

...

Alaska's vast natural beauty is unparalleled. Spectacular Mt McKinley and Prince William Sound are only the tip of the iceberg. With quirky villages and a few cities dotted across boundless acres of national parks and reserves, sheer adventure is outside every door. Whether you're hiking or paddling, whale watching or glacier gawking, follow this de~nitive guide into the USA's last great wilderness.
