4. Deathly Dalton Highway: Officially known as Alaska Route 11, the Dalton Highway is a 414-mile road extending just north of Fairbanks and ending near the Arctic Ocean. Originally built as a supply road to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, it is one of the most isolated roads in the country. Only three towns are situated along the route, which features breathtaking views and several must-stop milestones, including passing the Arctic Circle at mile 115, the northernmost truck stop in the world; Coldfoot, the Atigun Pass from miles 244 through 248; and the Coastal Plain viewpoint at miles 356.
5. Denali National Park: Denali is six million acres of wild land, bisected by one ribbon of road. Travelers along it see the relatively low-elevation taiga forest give way to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, culminating in North America's tallest peak, 20,320' Mount McKinley. Wild animals large and small roam unfenced lands, living as they have for ages. Solitude, tranquility and wilderness await.
6. El Dorado Gold Mine:
7. Glacier Bay National Park: With snow-capped mountain ranges, massive tidewater glaciers and a diverse range of wildlife, Glacier Bay National Park is the embodiment of most people's visions of Alaska. Website
8. H2Oasis Indoor Water Park:
9. Historic Alaska Railroad: One of the best ways to get to know Alaska is by train. With wide windows and domed ceilings, the passenger cars on the Alaska Railroad fill up during summer months. Routes stretch between Seward to Fairbanks, running through Anchorage, Denali and Fairbanks with offshoots to Whittier and Palmer. Tours last anywhere from two to twelve hours, and luxury seating is available. One of the most unique routes is along "Hurricane Turn," the area between Talkeetna and the Hurricane area that has no roads. Residents flag the train by waving white flags or cloths, making it one of the last remaining flag-stop railway routes in the United States. website
