Alaska Attractions
Visiting Alaska can be the trip of a lifetime. While this list is by no means exhaustive, we hope it helps you explore your options when planning your trip.
Lake Clark, National Park Service
Sport hunting and trapping are permitted in Lake Clark National Preserve (not the National Park). You must have all required licenses and permits and follow state regulations. Arrangements can be made through lodges, air taxis, and licensed big game transporters. Contact rangers in Anchorage (907-644-3626) or Port Alsworth (907-781-2106). Many areas within the preserve are private land.
Glacier Bay, National Park Service
Comprised of 3.3 million acres of rugged mountains, dynamic glaciers, temperate rainforest, wild coastlines, and deep sheltered fjords, Glacier Bay National Park is a highlight of the Inside Passage and part of a 25-million-acre World Heritage Site. Call 907-697-2230.
The City of Kodiak
Situated on the second largest island in the United States, approximately 250 air miles southwest of Anchorage in the Gulf of Alaska. Incorporated in 1940, Kodiak is a home-rule city operating under the Council-Manager form of government.

Tongass National Forest
Bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains, the lush greenery of the Tongass spans 500 miles of Southeast Alaska, the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world, filled with islands, salmon streams, old-growth forest, and deep fjords.
Chugach National Forest
Stretching across south-central Alaska, from Prince William Sound to the salmon and trout streams of the Kenai Peninsula, covering an area the size of New Hampshire, one of the few places left where glaciers still grind valleys into hard rock.
