- Synopsis:
Roam the dramatic and beautiful wilderness, climb the remote and rugged mountains and glaciers, and get close to rare and wonderful wildlife. Your itinerary includes densely forested Ketchikan, with its colorful, mysterious totem poles created by early natives; mountainous Sitka, once the capital of Russian Alaska; pristine Juneau, the only state capital unreachable by car; raucous Haines, home to the world's largest concentration of bald eagles; remote Seward, where stunning Kenai Fjords National Park went largely unexplored until the 1960's; complex Anchorage, a bustling metropolis surrounded by vast wilderness; untouched Denali, home to the first people to cross the Bering Strait from Siberia; indomitable Valdez, which overcame both the Exxon oil spill and the massive earthquake of 1964; fish-rich Homer, with its artist colony aptly named Pioneer Avenue; lush Kodiak, Alaska's largest island and longtime home to Eskimos, and historic Fairbanks, an adventurer's city lying just 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle. - Studio:
