Alaska

Roadless Capital City: Juneau, the state capital, is completely landlocked and cannot be reached by car. You can only access the city by boat or plane.
The Land of the Giants: Alaska’s massive stretches of land and water support giant-sized ecosystems. It is home to more than half of the world’s glaciers, the largest bears on earth (the Kodiak bear), and even record-breaking vegetables (like a 138-pound cabbage) grown in the extended summer sunlight.
A Pilot’s Playground: Because of its sheer size and the lack of traditional roads, Alaska has a massive aviation culture. Roughly 1 in 58 Alaskans is a registered pilot, which is about 6 times the national average.
