Step Inside A Fairy Tale At These 11 Whimsical Places In Alaska
Some of the most magical places in Alaska are often the most beautiful and the most breathtaking. These places are so unique and gorgeous that it’s safe to say they deserve to be in their own story. You can’t deny that these romantic and picturesque places provide the perfect setting for a dreamy fairy tale. So without further ado, we bring you 11 places in Alaska that are fascinating and perfect for that dreamy fairy tale.
1) A perfect place to meet Mr. Right... Am I right?
Snow sure makes everything look like a fairy tale, but this picture captures all the soft blues and purples of a fading sun which make the shot that much more romantic and dreamy. There are so many beautiful places in Alaska, each and every spot is magical.
If I were Ariel I wouldn't mind sprouting some legs so I could walk around the hills of Glacier Bay. Check out the U.S. National Park Service’s website, which tells you more about this beautiful area.
Valdez can look daunting and dreamy at the same time. Every fairy tale has a moment of tension and suspense, I'd say this image captures that perfectly. Read more about Valdez’s northern lights on their town website.
Burns Glacier looks regal and chilly from the outside but I still think it would make a great setting for a fairy tale. Head to the Chugach National Forest website that tells you more about this glacier, and others in the Portage Valley area that are equally stunning.
8) A dreamy water landscape at the Colville River.
I can see this setting land somewhere in a movie like Frozen, can't you? There are so many beautiful places to visit in Alaska, and some are so remote and difficult to visit. But if you can, it’s worth every moment!
Last, but not least, a stunning view of Adak Island and its snowy winter landscape. This shot would be perfect for the dramatic ending to almost any tale. Check out this stunning drone footage of this beautiful, remote island in Alaska.

What are the most beautiful places in Alaska?
This depends on season, and what you find to be beautiful, but there are some incredible spots that most people are all in awe of. Denali National Park, home of North America’s tallest mountain, definitely inspires awe and reflection. Glacier Bay National Park and Kenai Fjords National Park are two wonderful, stunning places that are frequently visited via the water. These are spots that people will talk about forever after seeing them in Alaska!
What kind of wildlife are there in Alaska?
There are many types of wildlife here in Alaska! You can find many types of bears, including polar bear, grizzly bear, black bear, and the rare silver/ blue bears, a variant of the black bear. There are Dahl sheep and goats, moose and beaver, and majestic marine animals like the orca whale or fin whale. You’ll find porpoises, butterflies, ground squirrels, and bald eagles. Ravens make their home in our state and so do caribou. This state is filled with a wide range of both plant and animal life!
