Our 49th state holds many wonders: Landscapes of incredible beauty, dynamic cities, and a rich cuItural history.
This tour of Alaska incIudes several stops along the famous Inside Passage, including Sitka - noted for its Russian architecture. At Juneau, we pay a visit to the Red Dog SaIoon, where hordes of goId-seekers caroused during the great GoId Rush of 1898. A canoe race and hot-air balIoon ride are featured in the city of Anchorage. We take a trip to "AIaskaIand" in Fairbanks and take a ride on a vintage steam-engine train, foIIowed by an outing on board a stern-wheeI steamboat. Try your luck panning for goId in Nome, then view an lnupiat tribaI ceremony and bIanket toss in Kotzebue.
