Salmon, gold and tourism in a land of prehistory, bears and volcanoes
(Page 3 of 3)
Transportation in Western Alaska is often by air, because there are no roads between towns. Alaska Airlines and regional airlines such as Pen Air and Era Aviation serve the larger towns, and smaller carriers fly into the villages. Air taxis can be hired for trips into remote areas, as well as for flights from Anchorage, Kenai and Homer into Katmai National Park.
The state ferry Tustumena docks at Kodiak and Port Lions (on Kodiak Island) and once a month heads west along the Aleutians to Dutch Harbor.
