2) Alaska
The biggest reason people skip Alaska is due to how far away it is from pretty much everywhere in the U.S. Also, it’s cold. However, Alaska’s 2 million annual visitors will tell you that Alaska is an amazing place. It just requires a perspective adjustment. Yes, Alaska is far away. But its remoteness is what makes it so pristine. Mountains, glaciers, waterfalls – Alaska claims some of the most stunning natural sights in the world. Feast your eyes on all this with a ride on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, a heritage train that operated during the gold rush in the 1900s. A boat trip is also a great way to appreciate the Arctic landscape and spot whales and wildlife. Did you know Alaska one of the only places in the U.S. the Northern Lights can be seen? Visit in the dead of winter and you’ll be rewarded!
