Alaska is called "The Last Frontier" and the title is well deserved. It truly is a wild and wonderful place.

Alaska is not just big, it's huge. Some guide books compare its size to other "large" states.

For example, Alaska is bigger than Texas, California and Montana combined!

Others compare it to small European countries.

Alaska is bigger than England, France, Italy and Spain combined!

In Alaska, parks are bigger than many eastern US states.

I want to go there before it all melts. I was on my way when I met my wife and got married instead. I've been broke ever since. Alaska and Arizona.

my brother's wife spends a week hiking Alaska every year, and one of my sons went for glacier climbing, said it was the most beautiful place he had seen in the world. i hope it remains pristine as possible for the sake of its diverse wildlife.
