Alaska lodges provide the perfect opportunity to see parts of the state that are not normally visited. Lodges can be found all over the state and each provides a unique experience for their visitors. Travelers have a wide range to choose from. With lodges found near Mt. McKinley to the ones nestled near the Arctic Circle, the variety is endless.

Alaska lodges provide the challenge and beauty of the wilderness. Minutes away from prime fishing streams or wildlife refuges, these accommodate people of many interests. For the angler, salmon and halibut provide challenges galore. Many lodges are located right next to streams or coastal waters that will keep fishermen busy for days. For those that want to view wildlife, the choices are even wider. Some lodges are nestled along the coast where whale and dolphin watching is a favored past time. Eagles seem to swoop on command. Others lodges are nestled in the Interior where bear, wolves and caribou dominate the landscape. During the brief summers, wildflowers and birds add their beauty as well.

Alaska lodges provide comfortable accommodations in the wilderness. Some lodges provide private or semi-private cabins for their guests. Others have guest suites and common rooms. No matter the situation, these lodges are built for the comfort of their guests. Jacuzzis and saunas are often seen sites. And many boast world class cuisine as well. Services vary from lodge to lodge. Some provide fishing lessons for the beginning angler. Others provide kayaking and other activities. Excursions on water and land can help the days pass away. Evenings are often spent with other guests in the common rooms or in the privacy of your own suite. It is all up to the visitor and what they want.

Alaska lodges can be easy to find or difficult to get to. But each is well worth the journey. In the remote mountains, roads are often difficult to navigate. Some lodges will fly their guests in by plane. On the coastal waters, boats are used to ferry people to lodges located on islands. Some lodges are available by train or by car. Some are near major airports, but many are not. No matter how you need to get there, each one is well worth the time to go. Surrounded by the majesty of mountains and the sparkling waters, these lodges will help you go back to a simpler time and pace. And let you relax.
