6-Day Alaska Trip Ideas
The amount of ground you can cover on a 6-day trip is about the same as on a 5-day journey, but you’ll have even more time in the stunning Last Frontier! Most trips include two spectacular, can’t-miss national parks, Denali and Kenai Fjords. Plus, that extra day allows you to slow down the pace and linger a little longer in any spot you love—and on the trip of a lifetime, that can make a world of difference.
