Alaska is one of the best destinations for adventure holidays in the US, it has been claimed.

An article on travelbite.co.uk revealed that thrill-seeking travellers will find a range of different adrenaline-fueled activities such as kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and dog sledding.

The state is also home to a range of stunning national parks, including Denali National Park which features the highest peak in North America - Mount McKinley.

"Anyone who travels to see it will not be disappointed as they gaze up at the impressive combination of rock faces, glaciers and snow," it said.

"You will also find that the area is home to a vast array of animals, including wolves, moose, caribou, golden eagles and marmots, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled as you hike around."

Animal lovers may also want to visit Kenai Fjords National Park to see a range of sea life such as orcas, humpback whales, sea lions and seals.
