10 Other Outdoor Activities in Alaska That You Shouldn't Miss
Alaska is divided into five regions: far north, interior, southwest, south central, and inside passage. Although it takes a long time to see the entire state, you can travel through the regions by boat, car, bus, or plane. Hike through the mountains, or venture out on a deep sea fishing or whale watching excursion. Get in touch with nature by camping in the wilderness, or experience your preferred degree of class and luxury in the beautiful, active cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks.

We spent a week in Sitka and fished 4 days with Tad. Everyday was an adventure and incredible experience. We caught more 5-10 lb silvers than you can imagine. Some days we even gave up counting. Tad is a fantastic captain and guide. If you are looking for a great fishing adventure in Sitka give Tad a call.

My friends and I have been fishing with Mike, Paul, and whomever might be driving the third boat. I have fished on all three boats. The least amount of fish I have ever come back with is 50 lbs. that was on a one day trip. the most was 125 lbs. on a three day trip. They always fined the fish. The lodge has a great view of the bay, is comfortable, and quiet. Great for sleeping after a day on the water. You cook your own dinners, or go downtown and enjoy some good eating establishments. Big and well furnished kitchen, with a BBQ on the deck. We took all three boats this year over the 4th of July, for 3-days fishing. Mostly White Pass Ski Patrol folks, we had a great time and fun competition between boats.We limited everyday with kings and halibut. A few of us will be going back around Labor Day. Thanks Mike, Paul, Kaylen, Johnny, Kaz, and Kelsey. Great job done by all!!!

This has always been a highlight of during all of my Alaska cruises. This particular October day provided quite amazing. The Captain of the ship and the onboard Naturalist commented that they had never seen the surface of the water here so smooth. The sun was out and it was an unusually gorgeous day. [It can be quite overcast at times.] The ship did its typical pirouette allowing people to see 360 degrees - all sides. We were fortunate to see and hear some calving of the glacier as the ice broke away. But, on this trip, no whales, dolphins, bears or otters as I have seen on other trips. Excellent geological commentary by the Park Service people. You'll never reget your visit here.

The Dawes Glacier at the top of Endicott Arm was the last stop on our Un-cruise Alaskan adventure "Exploring Muir's Wilderness" aboard the Safari Endeavour. As we awoke on the Saturday morning sailing up the fjord, there was a chillier feel to the air as we navigated the ice floes. There was much excitement and anticipation before breakfast as the huge glacier came into view and we stood on the bow viewing area in awe. We anchored about half a mile away and were taken in groups in skiffs to within about a quarter of a mile to see it close up. The colours were amazing and the sheer scale difficult to comprehend and describe here-a mile wide and 250 feet high. We spent about an hour among the ice floes with our guide Tyler who was a mine of information. Before we left to go back the ship we shared hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps to warm us up. A memorable morning that won't be forgotten.

A great way to experience Alaska and Canada and I definitely recommend an RV for this trip.Plan ahead, make reservations, accommodations are somewhat limited and you need to be sure you have a place to stay each night. Limit your daily travel to about 300 miles or less per day, scenery is spectacular and road can frequently be under repair. Take you time and enjoy the trip. Keep your gas/diesel tank filled, stations can be far apart so try to travel with 1/2 tank or better. Watch out for frost heaves and slow down for warnings, stay to the right when roads are under repair. Loose gravel on sections under repair are a threat to your windshield. Take a float plane to see bears in the Cook Inlet. Visit Denali, take the bus if you want to see the mountain. Visit the Homer Spit and Valdez. Bring your camera and take your time the wildlife and scenery are spectacular.
