Alaskan Adventures

To travel to Alaska is to experience the majesty and beauty of God's creation, from the breathtaking glaciers to the Northern Lights. Before visitors pack their bags, though, they should learn how many hours of daylight will be available during the days of their trip. In January, one may only have one hour of daylight. But, in July, there are 23 hours of daylight. This is certainly something to consider while planning the dates for the trip. One suggestion for visitors is to include clothes not only for the season in which they are traveling, but also for one season colder, especially if they travel at the beginning or end of the season. This is a wise suggestion because most travelers will want to take a cruise to the glaciers and also see the gorgeous mountains, so they would want to bring clothes that are appropriate to both temperatures.

Vacationers may want to hitch a ride on the train. Train travel is an excellent way to view the landscape of Alaska and allows travelers to relax while enjoying luxury travel cars and excellent food. Because the railway is a main source of income, and the revenue from tourists is so important, the trains offer fantastic service, complete with guides. There are day trips or weekly packages for travel to Alaska that travelers can buy so the experience on the trains can be tailored to the interests of the passengers. Those planning to ride the train should try to purchase tickets in advance to get the best seats, but also to get better rates or deals. In addition to the train ride, vacationers should be sure to research options for flight tours. Six-hour flight tours are available in the morning and evenings that give visitors a glimpse at wildlife. While in flight, passengers can expect to see bear while they fish for salmon and play together.

There are so many options of how to fill the day with adventure when exploring this unique state. The hardest part of the trip will be planning a way to see such a vast, diverse expanse of landscape in a limited amount of time. To schedule a trip and learn about all the travel packages available for travel to Alaska, travelers should contact a local travel agent. If there is enough time before the trip, they could research all the travel specials and tour specials available when booking online. No matter how the travel to Alaska is organized, once the traveler gets there, they will see God's creation all around them and will join the seraphims in singing, "Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory". (Isaiah 6:3)
