Drive west and go RV camping in Alaska's Southwest region. Keep your camera ready and you may catch a brown bear ambling along the hills and plains. If you're a bird watcher, you can add many new species to your life list because more than 240 bird species inhabit this region. Jutting out from land is the 1,000 mile sweep of the Aleutian Islands.

RV travel in Alaska is really popular in the heartland of Alaska where you'll see the continent's tallest peak, Mt. McKinley. No matter where you look you'll see wildlife—everything from the formidable grizzly to stately herds of caribou. You're not the first people to go camping in Alaska. You're following in the footsteps of the early gold miners and fur trappers. Travel the highway that runs by the Denali National Park and you may catch sight of the summer's midnight sun or the winter's northern lights.

Just what you'd expect while RV camping in Alaska's Far North is to come face to face with Inupiat Eskimos. The communities of Alaska's Far North are accessible from Fairbanks or Anchorage via jet or small aircraft.

Although your RV travel in Alaska will get you up close to lots of wildlife, Alaska's cities provide plenty of wild nightlife or fabulous day life. Anchorage is a unique urban environment set in the heart of great wilderness. Its central location, relatively mild climate, and excellent transportation system makes it a natural base camp. Shop for Alaska Native crafts and wander through the many exhibits of the state's cultural and natural history in Fairbanks. Alaska's capital, Juneau, is said to be the most scenic capital in the United States. While there, visit the Marine Park and historic South Franklin Street.
