Photos of Alaska: 30 Breathtaking Pictures You Need to See

What can I say about Alaska? It’s amazing. Brilliant. Wild. Surreal. Beautiful. While these photos of Alaska show off some of its beauty, being on the ground and seeing it in person is where the true wonder lives.

I spent 22 days in Alaska in 2021, and it is something I think about a lot.

We saw nearly all of the Kenai Peninsula, flew over Denali, enjoyed the wildlife, spent three days in Wrangell St. Elias National Park, walked on a glacier, went bear watching in Lake Clark, hung out in Talkeetna, and frolicked in Kenai Fjords National Park.

It was truly an eye-opening experience, and I hope these photos of Alaska help convey the true brilliance of the Last Frontier.
