3 Reasons Why You Should Visit Alaska This Year

A roaming Kodiak bear is just one of the many unique things you'll see when you visit Alaska.

Although there are plenty of excellent reasons to visit Alaska, some people may need a little extra motivation. Planning vacations can sometimes be stressful, so it’s essential to focus on why you want to go somewhere rather than the challenges. After all, you don’t want to miss out on the trip of a lifetime because of travel anxiety! If the last couple of years has taught us anything, we should live life to the fullest, and few destinations in the world can help you find your true self like the last frontier! As such, we’d like to offer a few reasons why you should visit Alaska’s Afognak Wilderness Lodge.

An Alaska Vacation Can Give You a Fresh Start

Many who have taken a trip to Alaska will tell you it tends to make you feel like a new person. When you first set foot into a majestic and timeless place, it can help you find perspective. Standing next to a mountain or watching a massive whale breach is only the tip of the iceberg. The experiences and opportunities you’ll find on Afognak Island amid picturesque scenery and iconic natural wonders are genuinely unforgettable.

You Don’t Need a Passport

If you’re a US citizen, one of the best parts about visiting Alaska is that you don’t need a passport. Suppose you’ve been thinking about visiting a different continent to experience new cultures and scenery. In that case, Alaska fits the bill—unless you were hoping to collect foreign coins or practice your French. You’ll still find exotic experiences like watching bears or reeling in monster salmon on Afognak Island. Still, you won’t have to worry about culture shock.

Unrivaled Natural Environments and Tranquility

For anyone who wants to “get out of Dodge,” a visit to Alaska may be just the ticket! Even if you are an extroverted person, there’s something to be said about the unparalleled solitude you’ll find in Alaska. Even our largest cities offer an easy escape from life's hustle and bustle, so imagine what Afognak Island State Park can provide as you seek tranquility amid nature’s bounty? Whether you go kayaking, hiking, or fishing, there’s a good chance you’ll be at peace.
