Alaska

Alaska is beautiful. Alaska is wild. Alaska is one of my favorite places in the world. This gallery contains photos that show the beauty and wildness of Alaska. There are a handful of photos included from the Canadian Yukon, just over the border. It's close enough that I think it's okay to include them here.
