Exploring Alaska

By James Todd


Planning a vacation in Alaska can be a very pleasurable adventure, and traveling in this beautiful state in a mobile hotel room can bring memories that will last a lifetime with all of the many sights to see in there.

Alaska is different from every other destination in the world. Every day it offers an unforgettable memory: a mother moose and calf, glaciers and mountains, unique Native cultures and Gold Rush days. Perhaps nowhere else combines the conveniences of the modern age with the freedom and adventure of living on the edge of a vast, unspoiled wilderness as do Anchorage and Alaska.

Nearly 430 species of birds can be found in Alaska, including ducks, geese, swans and the millions of seabirds that nest in colonies along Alaska's coastlines. Alaska's shorelines are home to an abundance of marine life, including stellar sea lions, walrus, whales, seals and sea otters.

This is a good place to pause and consider AlaskaĆ¢€™s relative size. Alaskans are proud of the size of their stateĆ¢€"589,000 square miles or over three times the size of California. Yet, in the context of the northern world, its size is modest, being exceeded by regions such as the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in Canada, Greenland, and Sakha in Russia. Numerous indigenous peoples occupied Alaska for thousands of years before the arrival of European peoples to the area. The Tlingit people developed a matriarchal society in what is today Southeast Alaska, along with parts of British Columbia and the Yukon.

Alaska has 3 million lakes, more than 3,000 waterways and more coastline (6,640 miles) than the whole mainland of United States. There are more dynamic ice sheets in Alaska than in whatever is left of the world. Alaska is likewise home to 80 percent of all the dynamic volcanoes in the U.S.

Explore Alaska RV Rentals is committed to providing with a vacation experience. It is a desire of many people to see and to come here again and again with the family and friends. Visiting the wild beauty of Alaska in total hassle-free comfort.
