Feature Of The Month
 
Bears in the wild

Bears in the wild
The mere mention of these rugged landscapes brings to mind North America's fiercest, hardiest animals -- polar bears, black bears and brown bears (sometimes known as grizzly bears). In a world where bears are usually the endangered species, Alaska is a place where people have to watch their step. Bears can be found (when they want to be) in nearly every corner of the state.

The seven-day cruise aboard the luxurious Radiance departs from Vancouver and follows -- for the most part -- the Inside Passage along the British Columbia coastline to the Alaskan ports of Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, and the Hubbard Glacier. It's a trip that anyone with a taste for adventure should try. There's nothing quite like relaxing on the balcony and inhaling the breathtaking scenery as you pass by at a few knots. Although there's the constant din of the rushing waters below and sea breezes, there is also tranquility and the surrealism of low-lying clouds hovering at eye level. Canoe.ca / Toronto Sun

Online Traveler

If anyone were to ask me for my favorite vacation destination, Alaska ranks way up there, with some of the best! The first thing that comes to mind is it's diversity, from glacial fjords to barren tundra, and from rain forest to subarctic taiga. Flora and fauna present a spectacle of their own, where else can you find the biggest salmon, the biggest bears, huge numbers of bald eagles, the largest fields of wildflowers and, in neighborhood gardens, the largest cabbages you have ever seen!

How many people can say they've had the pleasure of visiting the majestic state of Alaska? I never thought I'd get there, so on a whim one day, I took a job that would allow me the luxury of two full weeks in scenic Kodiak Island. I was alone, unassisted, embarking on the adventure of a lifetime. And while I knew it would be a heavenly experience, I never realized I was about to create life-altering memories. It is so well worth the money. And I promise you, the memories really WILL last a lifetime!
