AN UNTOUCHED WILDERNESS STILL SHIMMERING IN NATURAL SPLENDOR.

Prepare for a rousing expedition to uncover the natural treasures of Alaska and Canada. Begin by kayaking through Alaska's Inside Passage for a close-up look at mighty humpback whales. Drive through the breathtaking forests, mountains and streams that adorn the Alaska Highway, a marvel of modern engineering. Brave the treacherous slopes of Mt. McKinley, then uncover the origins of the "spirit houses" a Native American tribe constructs for its dead. End your visit to America's 50th state with a round of golf on very remote Weeping Trout course.

Then head for Canada and the wind-swept waters of the Bay of Fundy, which actually empties itself twice a day. Venture out to meet some polar bears who make annual visits to the town of Churchill, Manitoba. Then, after a dip in the soothing waters of the Banff Hot Springs, ride on both fast dogsleds and even faster bobsleds. Wrap up your trip by sailing through the breathtaking scenery of the Princess Louisa Inlet.
