Not only is Alaska the largest state in the United States in land area, but Alaska also has a longer coastline than all the other U.S. states combined. Mt. McKinley, the highest peak in North America is found in this great state. If you enjoy learning some new cultural activities, then get ready for some great experiences in your visit to Alaska...that is unless you are already proficient at totem carving, native dancing, or the blanket toss.
