It only takes an afternoon to see how Alaska is very different from the rest of the USA. Alaskans are proud of their state and as you get away from Anchorage, you may find that there is a certain charm and respite in exploring the less developed side of Alaska. Alaskans are kind and helpful, and they won’t leave you in despair, but they also are very protective of the Alaskan way of life, their heritage, and are cautious of letting it be overrun by tourism. That’s where we come in!
My Alaska Trip is all about helping visitors experience the beauty and fun of the state while not having a lasting negative impact on either the environment or the people who call it home. Problems like pollution, traffic, housing shortage and supply issues can easily have an effect on such a sparsely populated or developed place. Alaska is awesome, and the towns are remarkable, but it is delicate.
Unless you grew up in Alaska or worked here, you might not understand how the state is laid out and how to get around. We can help with that! Here on MyAlaskaTrip.com we’ve got the following topics and guides to help you plan an awesome trip:
Everyone has a different way they like to explore. We enjoy it all, from independent road trips to flightseeing or glacier cruises. And we work with some awesome Alaskans to share epic adventures. Some of our favorite travel partners are Rust’s Flying Service, UnCruise Adventures and Pursuit Alaska. We’ve worked with these particular companies because of the travel experiences they’re able to offer visitors all while being mindful of how special Alaska is.
We are sure to write about each place we stay as we go from town to town and park to park, so if you’re wondering where to stay as you explore Alaska, we’ve got suggestions! When we’re booking hotels we look at ranges of dates to find the best rates, keeping our destinations flexible since we’ll have to drive all over anyways.
