Start the year the adventurous way...

If you're thinking about traveling to the USA in January, you will probably enjoy the snow and the coziness of winter. Well, we have just the ticket: Alaska! January in the USA's northernmost state is the definition of a 'winter wonderland.' Feel the satisfying crunch of fresh powder on a snowshoe hike through the stunning Denali State Park. Try your hand at dog sledding (the official state sport) with a local musher. And enjoy some well-deserved R&R at the steamy Chena hot springs. If you're lucky, you might catch the northern lights while staying at the remote Sheep Mountain (with no light pollution, the odds are pretty good).
