Best Hiking Trails in Alaska
Famous for being known as “the last frontier”, Alaska is home to some of the best trails in the world. With over 66% of the national forests in the United States, there are endless paths to explore as you encounter glaciers, mountain ranges, and amazing local wildlife. If you plan on visiting Alaska, be sure to take a couple days off from being a tourist and spend time with mother nature. You won’t find many places as special as hiking through the state’s natural wonders.
There are several regions within Alaska you can strap on your boots and head out for a easy or challenging hike. The south offers more of a wilderness vibe as you trek through fjords or forests. Up north it will feel like you are in a different world as it quickly transitions into the arctic tundra. Both offer an amazing experience and below we will cover some of our favorite hikes to explore.
