Frontier isn’t a word used much anymore — mostly because there isn’t much frontier to be found anywhere anymore. Humans have basically roamed the whole world. Sure, we hear the word frontier bandied about it when it comes to deep-space expeditions or ocean explorations, but where on land can we actually experience it?

The answer is: on an Alaska adventure tour.

Our 49th state is a huge, booming convergence of natural superlatives. The planet’s highest coastal mountains lift up from the Gulf of Alaska. Prince William Sound is simply the world’s most dramatic and gorgeous meeting of land and sea. And towering grandly above it all is Denali, one of the Earth’s largest and most imposing mountains.

On your Alaska tour, you’ll see America in its most raw, close-to-original state. Watch as the largest grizzlies in the world — those on Kodiak Island — gorge on spawning salmon as they swim up the still-wild rivers. On our Alaska small ship cruises, glide through pristine fjords as you paddle your kayak into the heart of Southeast Alaska’s Inside Passage, where giant spruce and hemlock rise to neck-craning heights in a temperate rain forest. Wake to the sight of soaring eagles; fall asleep to the thunderous sound of tons of ice falling from glaciers; and during the day, feel awed by the magnitude of it all when whales, from at least ten different cetacean species, breach in distances that are measured in yards.

In the summer, when most Alaska tours and Alaska small ship cruises take place, it’s still light at midnight. That gives you more daylight hours to follow the tracks of caribou as they make their seasonal migration. It provides you with more time to hike on the tundra amid the unique birds, flowers, and animals of the North Country. And it supplies more opportunities for you to make your way up remote, braided river channels, the likes of which are unknown in the Lower 48.

Frontier? Yes, there’s still some of it left on terra firma. Just go west, to America’s edge. You’ll find it where the state called Alaska — and your own Alaska tour — begins.
