Maybe in some parts of Alaska, but not in the Southeast. Southeast Alaska is probably one of the most awesome places in the world. The terrain defies description. The air is so clear and clean that you wonder how you existed with the unbreathable air the Lower 48 has to offer. When it's not raining, the sky is the deepest shade of turquoise, a color mirrored by the clear, deep water that touches much of the landmass.
Wildlife appears out of nowhere both on the land and in the water.
Glaciers exquisite in their grandeur and steep mountain passes covered with snow even in the summer are everywhere you look. During the summer months tourists arrive in droves to take in the grandeur of Alaska. A veritable feast for the eyes would be putting it mildly. Many pilots fly to Alaska to hunt and fish. Flying into a crystal clear wilderness lake to fish is a dream come true.
