Travel + Leisure

Chihuly Garden and Glass
Vibrant glass sculptures and installations by renowned Washington artist Dale Chihuly blossom from an exhibition space just beneath the Seattle Space Needle. Baubles of color emerge from a garden also brimming with camellias and daylilies; bursts of yellow, red and orange glass hang from the top of a 4,500-square-foot glasshouse.

Pike Place Market
With more than 400 shops and stalls, the oldest continuously operating public market in the country is also a crucial hub for most of the city's restaurateurs and foodies. Tourists make a beeline for the sassy fish throwers and the original Starbucks, but the true draws are the flower stalls in the main arcade, as well as the booths occupied by serious growers and food merchants hawking fresh herbs, pots of artisanal honey and whole fish and crabs on heaps of ice.

Bering Sea Crab Fishermen’s Tour
On a three-and-a-half-hour Inside Passage trip aboard an industrial fishing vessel that’s been featured on the Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch, you’ll get a firsthand look at how Alaska’s commercial fishermen haul in king crabs, octopus, and even sharks.

Dyea
This eerie ghost town was a booming gold-mining settlement in the late 1800’s. Its success was short-lived, and today the site is made up of crumbling cabins and a cemetery where victims of an avalanche were buried in 1898. En route to Dyea, stop at the Skagway Overlook for dramatic mountain vistas.

White Pass Summit Excursion
Wind your way past gushing Bridal Veil Falls on the vintage White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad, built in 1898 for the Klondike Gold Rush. It’s three hours of heart-palpitating turns—and the unbeatable, photo-ready views you came to Alaska for.

Yukon Jeep Tour
Channel a 19th-century gold prospector—albeit from the seat of a four-wheel drive Jeep Wrangler—on this rugged off-road adventure. A guide in the lead Jeep narrates via two-way radio; evocatively named sights include Dead Horse Gulch, Bracket Wagon Trail, and Tormented Valley.
