OK let's face it. Death Valley isn't exactly a great marketing name, but if you haven't bothered considering DV as a place to visit, you really are missing out. Death Valley is the largest National Park in the lower 48 and is home to the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. But there is so much more to this enormous part of southern California that deserves closer inspection.

Geocaching is an activity that is spreading like wildfire around the world. It's basically a high-tech treasure hunt using a GPS (Global Positioning Unit) and a home computer. A cache is a usually small box or container filled with trinkets, odds and ends and other items of little value. A logbook or register is also included so that 'cachers' can record their visit to a particular geocache.

Glacier Bay National Park is a huge, wild and pristine expanse of the Alaskan outdoors and one of the few places on Earth to see massive tidal glaciers on the move.

The Glacier Bay Lodge is the only place to stay inside the park's expansive boundaries and the perfect place to begin a hike into the dense woodlands of Glacier Bay.

Ketchikan is a gateway to southern Alaska's wild outdoors!

It's one of America's iconic national parks, best known for its towering granite cliffs and spectacular waterfalls.

Focus and preparation are key to a safe and successful trip.
