Valdez, Alaska, a small seaside Alaskan community where the mountains meet the sea, is a magical area packed with things to see and do. The view is amazing, and in every direction the mountains rise into the air, frosted in white in the winter, and sparkling green in the summer. Everything from giant halibut fishing to sea kayaking around the Columbia Glacier is available.
Kodiak, Alaska is famous for huge Kodiak brown bears, world-class sport fishing and the magnificent green that the island turns during the summer, which is why Kodiak is called Alaska's Emerald Isle.

Seward, Alaska is a port city and an alpine resort town. Imagine a sparkling body of water, Resurrection Bay, with towering mountains lining its shores. Mt. Marathon, where the famous Fourth of July race is held, lies in front of the Harding Icefield which extends down the coast. Marine life abounds, eagles and seabirds fill the air, and mountain goats, bear and moose, all inhabit the surrounding forest.
