Thank you for visiting Alaska Vacation Rentals Properties by Owner and Lodging.
There are lots of things to love about Alaska. Mountains, glaciers and quakes define the biggest state. Mountains are a part of life in Alaska. They're probably the first thing visitors notice about the 49th state.
Alaska is great place for family vacations. The area's outdoor opportunities are seemingly endless, but even if it's raining outside, plenty of indoor destinations can provide alternatives for families. When it's nice outside, follow the locals to the many trail options in and around Anchorage.
Add in the thousands of rivers, streams and lakes that cover the 49th state and it's easy to see why many Alaskans head to the water for recreation. There are dozens of white-water rafting and kayaking operators in the state to help make visitors feel comfortable on the water. Alaska is legendary for its winters -- but most visitors come in the summer, when the days are long and the temperatures are moderate.
