Alaska

It isn't all polar bears and Eskimos. America's 49th state covers three climatic zones, with landscapes varying from evergreen forest to treeless tundra. Glistening glaciers that gallop and groan, coastal communities clinging to the traditions of their Russian or Scandinavian founders, an 800-mile oil pipeline—Alaska is almost larger than life. From the Inside Passage to Denali National Park, This Way Alaska reveals the natural wonders of America's Outback.
