Alaska by Rail

Alaska, nicknamed "The Last Frontier," is the largest U.S. state, known for its vast wilderness, abundant wildlife, extreme geography (including North America's tallest peak, Denali), rich Native cultures, and unique position as the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost U.S. state, bordering Canada and Russia across the Bering Strait. It's characterized by diverse regions, from Arctic tundra to temperate rainforests, and offers unique experiences like viewing the Northern Lights and the midnight sun, with a sparse population centered in a few cities like Anchorage and Juneau.
