Kayaking Trips in Alaska

via Kayaking Trips in Alaska | Travel Tips – USATODAY.com.

Kayaking trips in Alaska offer visitors the chance to paddle along some of North America’s most remote and unspoiled waterways. The indigenous Aleut tribes that once dominated this region were the inventors of the kayak. The Aleuts used kayaks for survival, fishing and hunting marine animals aboard these sturdy little vessels. Nowadays, tourists take to Alaskan waters in stable modern craft, but the rugged landscapes remain much the same as they did when kayaks first appeared in the area.
