Thanks for using AKTrailhead. I hope you find the information contained on this site useful. Alaska offers a countless amount of unique places to explore. Among the state's many attractions are spectacular glaciers, enormous mountains, a large variety of lakes, a plethora of plants and wildlife, and (depending on the season) some of the longest amounts of daylight or darkness you can experience anywhere on earth.

While Alaska can be one of the best places to experience the great outdoors, several of the factors that make it so unique can also lead to dangerous situations. Learn about the places you choose to hike in beforehand.
It could save your life.
