PUBLIC LANDS
When you close your eyes to dream of Alaska, you're probably picturing a park.
After all, half of the parklands in the entire country are here, adding up to a
whopping 333 million acres of strikingly diverse places.
For visitors, this can pose a challenge. Which park should you see? When your
choices range from wetlands to mountain peaks, tundra to windswept islands,
glaciers to roaring rivers, it can be hard to narrow the list.
So, we took what we knew best about Alaska's outside spaces—whether
they were best for recreation, seeing wildlife, or connecting with Alaska
Native history and culture—to help you get started. Use the next two
pages as a jumping-off point for planning. Then dive into the details
at TravelAlaska.com/Parks to create your own Alaska bucket list.
