Alaska Inside Passage Travel map published by National Geographic.
Explore the exhilarating majesty and mystique of Southeast Alaska with National Geographic's Alaska Inside Passage Destination Map. The Inside Passage is a winding waterway formed by a myriad of islands that lie between the North Pacific Ocean and the calmer waters of the coast. At its heart lies the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. At a staggering 16.8 million acres, it contains 19 designated wilderness areas and the Admiralty Island and Misty Fjords National Monuments.

.

This remarkable region of Alaska offers unparalleled scenery and countless opportunities to experience Alaska's most stunning and diverse wildlife, as well as its rich Native American culture and history. Visitors can admire the ever-changing landscape of Glacier Bay from passenger boats or traverse the Tongass National Forest by sea kayak. Few roads exist in the region, so travel is primarily by boat or seaplane, both of which offer the best exposure to the icy peaks, spruce-hemlock rainforests, and azure waters.

- The front of Alaska's Inside Passage reveals a striking map of the region, from just north of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve to just south of Prince of Wales Island. It includes information on islands and other land features, wildlife viewing and safety, weather, tides, and much more. - The back of the map provides invaluable content for travelers with detailed descriptions of points of interest and information on excursions, outfitters, visitor associations, lodging, the region's geology, and local indigenous cultures. A table of national parks includes the services offered and contact information for each park, and an additional map of the entire state of Alaska helps place the region in context.
