#2 Places to See In Your Lifetime-Heaven On Earth-Katmai, Alaska
"This national park is located in southwest Alaska, and these words from its first superintendent, Gilbert E. Blinn, need no embroidery:"It is a land of uncrowded spaciousness, a place where people can experience wilderness on its own terms without the distraction of hordes of other visitors. It is a place where time and change are measured by the sun, the tides and the seasons rather than clocks and calandars."
