Alaska is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. This vast state is chock-full of national parks and public lands, all ripe for adventure. What’s more, every region has its own distinct terrain: roam barren tundra in the Arctic, lush rainforests in the southeast and craggy peaks in the Interior. But towns and cities dazzle, too.
