8.Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska
The nigh-pristine marine wilderness of Glacier Bay National Park is accessible only by air. Located in the southeast, it is most famous for its tidewater and alpine glaciers. Best seen by kayak or boat, this place scored highly for its beauty and diverse wildlife. If you want a bird’s eye view as well, you can book a flight-seeing trip from the city of Juneau.
If you’re prone to outdoor adventures, take in the sight of the deep fjords, glacial lakes, rainforests, and snowy peaks via a kayaking tour out of Bartlett Cove. You might spot bald eagles, black moose, porpoise, sea otters, or seals. Check out the Icy Strait right outside the park, if you wish to see some minke whales or orcas.
7.Lake Clark National Park, Alaska
According to the Hahnels, their “best experience” on this particular trip was in the off-the-beaten-path place known as Lake Clark National Park. They spent three days in an out-of-the-way cabin surrounded by mountains and nestled next to the 50-mile-long, turquoise-tinged Lake Clark. The camping couple had a good time foraging for wild berries to use in their breakfast pancakes.
They went fishing for lake trout which they ate for dinner. They also went canoeing and hiking. This blue-glaciered place can only be accessed by air or sea. Mind you, this practically guarantees you some crowd-free time among the ice, rivers, and snowy mountains. If you want to rough it, you can camp here as well. If you’re into wildflowers, wait until summer to visit.
