Built out over the water and climbing weathered stairways, Ketchikan clings to the shores of Tongass Narrows and drapes the mountains with a cheerful air. Besides the main attractions - Creek Street, the Tongass Historical Museum, Totem Bight State Park and Saxman Village, try a flightseeing trip to breathtaking Misty Fjords National Monument--a transformational adventure not to be missed. These deep water fjords left by retreating glaciers left granite cliffs towering thousands of feet above the sea and countless waterfalls cascading into placid waters. The souvenir photos you'll take from the pontoons of the plane are worth the trip alone.
Sample Excursions:
- Ketchikan Sportfishing Adventure: Come fish from Knudson Cove Marina located right on some of the best fishing grounds in Southeast Alaska. A 25- to 30- minute narrated coach ride along the Tongass Narrows provides a glimpse into the history and lifestyle of Ketchikan's interesting sites and takes you to the scenic harbor where you will meet your captain, board his modern fishing boat, and head to the nearby salmon fishing grounds. Eagles, whales, seals, sea lions or other wildlife may be on the agenda as well!

Located at the foot of grand mountain peaks on the Gastineau Channel, the town of Juneau has the massive Mendenhall Glacier and the immense Juneau Icefields at its back door. Juneau is the place to let your imagination run wild. Explore the lush Tongass National Forest. Visit the rustic shops in town. Or get out and kayak, dogsled, raft, hike, whale watch, flightsee or fish. There’s no end to the adventure because of the long daylight hours. Climb aboard the Mt. Roberts Tramway for a great spot to hike and shoot a souvenir photo.
Sample Excursions:
- Mendenhall Glacier, Whale Watch & Wildlife Quest: Experience Alaska's premier attractions, glaciers and wildlife, from two very different vantage points--by land and by sea! Take a narrated motorcoach tour to view and photograph Alaska's most famous glacier, the Mendenhall. At the newly renovated Visitor Center, you'll have the opportunity to visit with Forest Service interpreters, and--through interactive exhibits--appreciate the landscape-carving force of glacial ice. As time allows, stroll the glacier-view path, or take a short walk to watch salmon spawning in a nearby stream.

The sidewalks are all but rolled up in Skagway come winter, so you can only imagine the frightful conditions endured by the gold prospectors who passed through en route to the Yukon, with a mandatory ton of supplies to be hauled with them over the steep and treacherous Trail of '98. Today, summertime visits to Skagway require nothing of the sort, but you can still ride the antique White Pass & Yukon narrow-gauge railway up through silvery-purple rock faces, past Deadhorse Gulch, to see what it was like back then.
Sample Excursions:
- Dog Sledding & Glacier Helicopter Flight Tour: Combine your helicopter flightseeing tour with the experience of dog sledding! After flying over spectacular glacier sites, you will land at a dog camp situated atop a majestic glacier above Skagway. Experienced guides will introduce you to the world of dog sledding. The young and young at heart will have the opportunity to either stand on the sled and mush or relax on the sled and observe the breath-taking environment. Meet the professional mushers and friendly dogs that have made the Iditarod dog race famous.
