And of course Alaska is well known for Whales, including Humpback Whales.

Between Whitehorse and Beaver Creek, is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. It contains some of Canada’s highest peaks and is a prime wildlife-viewing area. The Alaska Highway skirts crystal-clear, glacier-fed Kluane Lake for 40 miles while the snowclad, 7,000-ft.-plus Kluane Ranges parallel the highway to the west. Take sidetrips into the park for trout fishing, gold panning, walking the tundra and marveling at colorful wildflowers. The scenery is incredible. You may glimpse distant giants of the St. Elias Mountain Range.
Alaska’s largest city, but you still sense the proximity of the wilderness and the frontier spirit. Among the sights: the world’s largest seaplane base, and the Museum of History and Art. Witness the tidal bore along Turnagain Arm (conditions permitting), when a wall of water up to six feet high rushes up the inlet.
Homer attracts fishermen, artists and seekers of spectacular scenery. Across the bay a timbered coastline rises to the glacier-capped peaks of the Kenai Mountains. Visit Homer Spit, abustle with fisherfolk, a small-boat harbor, canneries, boat building shops and the occasional artist with an easel.
Fairbanks began as a Gold Rush town and has been thriving ever since. Here you may inspect the TransAlaska Pipeline, just outside of town. Or treat yourself to a cruise on the old-style sternwheeler, Riverboat Discovery. Pay a visit to Gold Dredge #8, and try your hand at panning.
Skagway was one of the liveliest towns in the hemisphere in 1898, when it was the gateway to Gold Rush Country. And it hasn’t lost a particle of its spirit.The whole downtown is a National Historic Park, with its well-trodden boardwalks and false-fronted saloons. Shopping is fun here, for anything from gold nugget jewelry to original works of Alaskan art.
Capital of Yukon Territory, is a friendly modern city that provides vivid reminders of its Gold Rush beginnings. Here, on the banks of the Yukon River, the prospectors who struggled up from Skagway had their first chance to dry out after running the treacherous rapids of the Yukon River. You may visit the grand old sternwheeler, S.S. Klondike, permanently anchored on dry land by the riverside.
Dawson City is a perfectly preserved Gold Rush town. Hardly anything has changed since the boom days when thousands descended on the town to get rich quick.
