Your Style Trip In Alaska.

Shopping

Wherever you go, you'll find unique Alaskan products and crafts. These can include:

• Gold nugget jewelry and items carved from ivory and jade
• Handmade clothing and toys
• Collectors items made from animal skins, fur or bone


• Woven baskets of beach grass, bark or baleen
• Alaskan delicacies – canned and smoked salmon, wild berry products and reindeer sausage
• Native seal oil candles, beaded mittens, fur mukluks and miniature hand carved totem poles

Be sure to look for the “Made in Alaska” logo, which indicates an item genuinely manufactured in Alaska. If you find a silver hand logo, it identifies the item as a Native Alaskan handicraft.

Handcrafted items, made of walrus ivory and other by-products of subsistence hunting, provide an income source for Native Alaskan artisans and a valuable investment for the buyer. Be careful though – some wildlife products cannot be transported through customs without special permits. Visitors are advised to mail these souvenirs home to avoid confusion at the border.

For specific regulations, contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at (907) 271-6198. For further customs information contact the U.S. Customs Service at 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW – Room 7.5 B, Washington, DC, 20229

Hiking

Alaska is full of outdoor adventures, from the mild to the wild. Picnic near an Ice Age glacier or raft a raging river. Experience gold rush excitement aboard a sternwheeler or try your hand fishing for Alaska’s world-class halibut and salmon. Skim the wilderness in a "bush" plane or helicopter. Or take a flightseeing trip over some of the most breathtaking mountains in North America. Drive for miles beside a turquoise glacier-fed river.

Endless Summers
Alaska has some of the most incredible scenery to be found in the United States. In order to enjoy all Alaska has to offer, visitors must get out and experience it for themselves.

With an amazing trail system that snakes through most major communities, Alaska has a trail for all abilities – from accessible nature paths to mountain hikes that are physically challenging. Cyclists, joggers and walkers will discover endless possibilities at their feet. Long-distance riders can use the highways – which vary in road surface and shoulder width.

For those who prefer water to land, kayak and canoe enthusiasts have unlimited opportunities to explore Alaska’s many rivers, streams, lakes and protected coastal waters.

Federal and State campgrounds are available throughout Alaska. A few even have electrical hookups and dumping stations. For fee information contact the Alaska Public Lands Information Center at (907) 271-2737. Private campgrounds are available throughout the state as well.

Sight Seeing(WildLife)

The pristine wilderness of Alaska is, perhaps, the last vestige of thriving populations of North American wildlife. Where else can you see polar bears, bald eagles, blue and humpbacked whales, gray wolves, grizzly bears, orcas, lynx, moose, and hundreds of other rare and endangered species in their original and undisturbed natural habitats?
