Map of Alaska- Western Region  The Western region is a more remote portion of Alaska. Communities in western Alaska are accessible only by plane, with the exception being by boat to the coastal communities, but there are very few commercial opportunities to travel by boat.

Most communities in this region are subsistance type communities, relying heavily on the fishing and hunting opportunities to keep them going. Many Guides and Outfitters operate in this region, as the remoteness lends itself to a truly unique outdoor adventure. Plan on booking with a professional to get the information and services needed to travel this region. Hunting, Fishing, Float-trips and Sightseeing are this areas biggest draw.
