Alaska is pretty much mountains, therefore if you love mountains you should definitely visit Alaska.
1) Glacier Bay National Park
Some of the world’s most magnificent tidewater glaciers may be found in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve. Mountains climb up to three kilometers vertically from the tidewater. Glacier Bay is a living laboratory, a national park, a designated wilderness, a biosphere reserve, and a world heritage site all rolled into one. It’s a marine park where boating into inlets, coves, and hidden harbors promise fantastic excitement. With its snow-capped mountains, stunning glaciers, and emerald–green forests, it’s also a land park.
2) Katmai National Park and Preserve
In addition, to bear viewing, Katmai National Park provides possibilities to raft, hike the Valley of 10,000 Smokes, camp in the backcountry, kayak the Savonoski Loop chain of lakes and rivers, or explore the park’s more secluded coves and bays.
3) Kenai Fjords National Park
Kenai Fjords National Park, one of the most spectacular natural areas in Southcentral Alaska, is the ideal place to discover marine life, fish for salmon and halibut, and watch glacier ice fall into the waters below. Over millennia, glaciers, waves, and mountains have created Kenai Fjords National Park, creating some of Alaska’s most awe-inspiring and stunning panoramas. It’s no surprise that the area attracts visitors of all kinds, given the abundance of natural attractions and easy access by road, rail, and water.
4) Coldfoot
Coldfoot is one of the few settlements in Arctic Alaska that can be reached by road, and it is a unique stopping point for tourists traveling down the Dalton Highway. Coldfoot is the ideal base camp for backcountry exploring across the Brooks Mountain Range and Atigun Pass and is known for spectacular displays of the Northern Lights phenomena.
5) The Eastern Aleutians
The Eastern Aleutians are situated in one of the most beautiful and dramatic parts of the globe. The intrepid traveler can explore historic Aleut/Unangan village ruins, visit agate beaches, witness a multitude of birds, mammals, and marine life, or experience amazing fishing chances here, set among active volcanoes, sea-sculpted shoreline, and mile after mile of the untamed landscape.
6) Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve
The park allows visitors to see both native Alaskan animals and old mining sites. Hike its mountains, float its rivers, ski its glaciers, or soar over it to see live geology in action. You get a sense of discovery as if you are the first to witness such wonders.
7) Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve
The Arctic Divide of the Brooks Range, America’s northernmost series of mountains, is crossed by Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, one of the world’s best wilderness regions. Visitors must fly or hike into Gates of the Arctic because it is a wilderness area with no roads or trails into the parklands. For longer hikes or backpacking trips, most hikers and backpackers stick to the vast, open valleys or work their way up to higher elevations, where open tundra and sparse plants provide superb trekking ground and expansive views. Trekking in the Arctic, regardless of where you go, is a task that rewards you with solitude, excitement, and amazing views.
8) The Chilkoot Trail
Enjoy the serenity and quiet of the north end, or take an adventurous day trip to Chilkoot Pass. Camp in Parks Canada’s campground on the bank of lovely Bennett Lake if you want to get into the heart of the northern wilderness. While hiking across the border is prohibited, there is still some wonderful hiking on the US side of the path.
9) The Chugach Mountains
Anchorage’s skyline is dominated by the Chugach Mountains, which provide more than just a spectacular backdrop. They’re a haven for outdoor aficionados. Chugach State Park and Chugach National Forest, when combined, offer some of Alaska’s most accessible outdoor adventures.
10) Mendenhall Glacier
Mendenhall Glacier, one of North America’s most magnificent and accessible glaciers, is only 13 miles from Juneau and a few minutes from the airport. It’s a must-see spot for everyone visiting Alaska. Your ice will astound you! With ice up to 1,800 feet deep and a half-mile wide, it’s no surprise that this is Juneau’s most popular attraction. There are numerous ways to explore the glacier whether you are in town for a day or a week.
