Description
Bike, Hike, Raft and Sea Kayak in Denali National Park and the Kenai Peninsula
"To the lover of pure wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world, wrote John Muir in 1879. Although the prospectors and traders of Muir’s time have been replaced by adventurers sporting cameras and binoculars, Alaska’s vibrant frontier spirit and overwhelming natural grandeur still have the power to consume the senses. So bring your family and experience it firsthand. Marvel at the snow-clad immensity of the surrounding mountains, pedal along wooded roads that weave through the seemingly endless landscape and view marine life on Resurrection Bay. By bike, on foot, by water and over land, Alaska with Backroads is an unforgettable family destination.
