3. Prince William Sound

While heading down the Seward Highways towards the town of Whittier, you'll see lots of frozen waterfalls along the way. Quite possibly the most jaw-dropping is once you drive towards the tunnel and experience hanging glaciers in the distance with frozen waterfalls lining the mountains and rock faces.

4. Seward

The cute little coastal town of Seward on The Kenai, Alaska's Playground has a lot of incredible natural wonders. We can't help but be obsessed with this one waterfall which sits perfectly on the mountainside overlooking the ocean. Absolutely stunning!

5. Ketchikan

Nestled deep in the Tongass National Forest is a special sight only available by airplane or a lengthy backcountry hike. How does a frozen lake, natural dam, and frozen waterfall sound to you? Sounds pretty freaking incredible to us!

8. Juneau

Alaska's state capital city, Juneau is filled with hidden wonders. From the frozen winter views at Nugget Creek Falls to the various trails in the backcountry leading through mini, frozen waterfalls along the way. You'll never run out of places to explore in this magical region.
