10 Breathtaking Photos of Alaska

2 of 15

Seward Highway

The Seward Highway stretches 127 miles and is known for its scenic views where you might catch a glimpse of a Beluga whale, breathtaking waterfalls and other Alaskan wildlife.

And while you are looking at the incredibly blue waters of Alaska, you might like to know that the official state marine mammal is the bowhead whale and the state fish is the giant King Salmon. Did you know that it could weigh up to 100 lbs? That is one big fish!
