An Alaska adventure travel vacation can be pretty much whatever you want it to be.
From ice climbing in glaciers crevasses to bear viewing on Kodiak Island to mountaineering on the slopes of Mt. McKinley, there are almost limitless options for adventure travel in Alaska.
It is even possible to incorporate an adventure vacation into an Alaska cruise.
Such adventure excursions as ice climbing, cold water scuba diving, bear viewing, and glacier hiking are available during port visits to Ketchikan, Juneau, and Skagway on most Alaska cruises.
Many more adventure vacations are available out of Anchorage. Adventure lodges like Great Alaska Adventure Lodge, about 130 miles from Anchorage, offer adventure travel packages.
The lodges offer packages incorporating such activities as mountain biking, rafting, sea kayaking, hiking, glacier cruising, canoeing, flightseeing.
Great white water rafting is available north of Anchorage, in the vicinity of Talkeetna, near Denali national park.
Juneau is another great adventure travel destination. Located in temperate rainforest, Juneau is surrounded by glaciers and alpine peaks, along with some of the most amazing fjords anywhere.
It's a good idea to start planning your Alaska adventure travel vacation as far in advance as possible, as lodges and flights book up.
