Alaska Information
The largest of the 50 states, Alaska spans the farthest northwest corner of the continent, next to Canada, and is not part of the contiguous United States. Outside of Alaska's major cities, wilderness stretches across the state, where visitors can observe the abundant wildlife in their undisturbed habitats, notably moose, bears, and humpback whales.
