Alaskan Substitutes?

I was planning on going on vacation to Alaska this summer with some buddies - it’s way too expensive for us right now. Are there any good ‘Alaskan experience’ type of places in North America? By Alaskan experience I mean networking with bears, fishing, boating and the good old wilderness. Nova Scotia? Northern Cali? Anything in the Mid-West?

Banff is world class, although in recent years has gotten flooded with more and more tourists (which is really annoying). Western Canada (BC & Alberta) in general though is absolutely beautiful so you could look into somewhere around there that would rival Alaska.

 

I will check out this bank as well. Thank you for the advice!

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
 

after college I did a 7day canoe trip with buddies on the allagash right in Maine. EXTREMELY remote (didn’t see another person until the 5th day) and saw a ton of cool animals (bears, moose, eagles). highly recommend, with the caveat that it could be a pain to get to/tough to do without planning.

 

Speaking of Alaska, does anyone know of any Alaskan IBs? Potentially intersted

Thanks, I'll take a look at that bank when I visit.

back in March, I could fly from NY to Alaska for $99. I'm serious.
