Alaska's Inside Passage Map · Nat Geo

• Waterproof • Tear-Resistant • Travel Map

Explore the exhilarating majesty and mystique of Southeast Alaska with National Geographic's Alaska's Inside Passage Destination Map. The Inside Passage is a meandering waterway formed by a myriad of islands that lie between the North Pacific Ocean and the quieter waters along the coast. At its heart lies the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. Spanning a staggering 16.8 million acres, it contains 19 designated wilderness areas as well as the Admiralty Island and Misty Fiords National Monuments.

This remarkable region of Alaska offers unparalleled scenery, countless opportunities to experience diverse wildlife, and a rich native culture and history. Visitors can marvel at the ever-changing landscape of Glacier Bay from passenger ships or explore the Tongass National Forest by sea kayak. With few roads in the region, travel is primarily done by boat or seaplane, offering a unique chance to absorb the icy peaks, spruce-hemlock rain forests, and azure waters.
