Alaska is big! Don't underestimate travel times. Anchorage is the hub of most itineraries. You can reach most places you'll want to visit by road, rail, or motorcoach. Most towns are 2-4 hours apart, but the scenery is part of the journey.

You can also fly by jet to outlying villages and parks or by air taxi to wilderness lodges. Most of these flights are 1-2 hours. The chart below tells how to get to the top places you'll want to visit. Click on any link to get the transportation company.
