A Travel Guide to Alaska's Parks

 


Alaska is an incredibly vast and complex, and there is much to learn when it comes to a Alaska travel guide to tourism. For example, there are different parks that you want to check out if it is in the Alaska region, especially the Katmai National Monument, Denali National Park, Prince William Sound, Glacier Bay and the Kenai Fjords.


Denali National Park is especially popular, because it contains the highest mountain in North America, Mount McKinley. The Alaska Range also includes countless other spectacular mountains and many large glaciers, and the Denali is more than 6 million acres, also includes a complete sub-arctic ecosystem with large mammals such as grizzly bears, wolves, Dall sheep and moose.


The park was actually established Mount McKinley National Park in 1917 and the original park was designated a wilderness area and then incorporated into Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980. Today, the park is world famous, according to many tourist guides in Alaska, and can accommodate a wide range of visitor use, including wildlife viewing, mountaineering and backpacking.


If you want to visit Denali National Park by shuttle bus, you should know that the buses leave all throughout the day from the Visitor Center, near the entrance to the park and you are able to take the trip of eight hours, round trip to Eielson Visitor Center, which is 66 miles in the park. You can also choose the 11 hour round trip to Wonder Lake, which is 86 miles into the park.


Then there's Katmai National Monument, which was actually declared a national monument in 1918 in order to maintain the living laboratory of life of its cataclysmic 1912 eruption. Its inspiring forces of nature are really able to confront us most visibly in its volcanic activity and brown bears. In the summer all predators in North America's largest land along streams in the area to eat on the salmon runs, building weight from this high protein and fat, and prepare for the long winter ahead.


Prince William Sound is definitely in the category of major sites to see, according to travel guides to tours of Alaska. In fact, there are 14 separate park units in Prince William Sound, and five of Resurrection Bay, which offers camping and anchorages in diverse upland, the marine environment and intertidal environments.
