Alaska, the adventure land of the USA

Since the time of gold rush Alaska has been known for most people as the land of adventurers. Many had tried finding gold at the Yukon River. It was a hard find to do, but those times are already over. Since then the wealth of the state is now the "black gold". When taking a glance at the map of Alaska it is easy to see how big Alaska is and how little it is populated.

Alaska now welcomes a large number of nature, adventure tourists, hunters and anglers. The unspoilt nature, the ocean coast and wild rivers  all attract tourists. A river trip on the Yukon River, a sledge ride in winter is probably something for the adventurer. It is highly recommended to arrive at your destination by the Alaska ferry as it passes through amazingg scenery, towns and villages along the Alaska coast. The route takes you between the mainland, fjords and offshore islands. Nature is absolutely overwhelming.

On the route you can also pass the capital of Alaska, Juneau, which is  not the largest city of the state. The largest one is Anchorage with its 270,000 inhabitants. Here there is a lot to see and do: museums, shopping centers and the Alaska Zoo. Besides Anchorage another notable city is Fairbanks located further north in Central Alaska.

Alaska Fishing

Alaska is not considered to be an the ideal summer vacation spot but it is a paradise for sportsmen, fishingmen and hunters as the waters and forests that Alaska offers are beautiful. When you are about to visit this area, you are hopefully not leaving empty handed.

For reaching this goal while fishing you should visit the Kenai River. This river is full of trophy fish.

The Kenai River is best known for king salmon. The world record salmon was caught in the Kenai River. People from all over the world visit the area to catch the huge salmon. The fishing season for king salmon is on throughout the summer until the end of July. Besides king salmon fishing, anglers can also catch red salmon, silver salmon, pink salmon and even rainbow trout.

How to make the best trip while fishing in Alaska - the hardest part of planning your trip will be to decide when to visit, which fish to search for, which animal to shoot and where to stay while there. For bed and breakfast in Alaska you have come to the right place.

It is easy to find vacation rentals in Alaska as there are several options available. The cheapest route to go to set up a tent at a campsite, but not everyone is for the idea of living in the nature, there are also vacation rentals, bed and breakfast in Alaska and hotels.
