Though Alaska is the largest state in the United States by land area, it is the third least-populated state in the nation, known for its expansive, rugged wilderness areas, majestic mountain peaks, and preserved intact glacial stretches. The gorgeous state is known throughout the world as a paradise for wilderness explorers, home to stunning national parks and wilderness recreation areas that offer unique opportunities for fishing, hiking, backcountry camping, and other extreme wilderness experiences.
