After a scenic flight deep into remote Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, America’s largest national park, take a singular excursion to Root Glacier and explore the once-booming copper mining town of Kennicott. Tour Anchorage’s historic downtown, then visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, home to bears, moose, elk, lynx, and more. In scenic Seward, embark on a cruise to explore rugged Kenai Fjords National Park.
