"Alaska, land of beauty" Alaska by sue&gene

Alaska Travel Guide: 7,878 reviews and 13,802 photos

As we traveled, our goal was to see all 50 states. We accomplished this in 2003 with our visit to Alaska. Our choice was to fly to Anchorage, rent a car and see as much as we could in a little over a week. We needed much more time to fully appreciate this large and beautiful state.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Beauty everywhere.
Cons:It is pretty spread out and takes time to see.
In a nutshell:Much undisturbed beauty!
