When you think about charming Alaska small towns, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Maybe it's whimsical waterside retreats where vast mountain peaks jolt out of the sea. Or maybe it's a secluded oasis in the middle of nowhere, perfect for unplugging and enjoying a brief escape from standard society norms. When quarantining makes you stir-crazy, it's hard to resist the urge to hop on a road-trip and fill your metaphorical cup with freedom, rejuvenation, and a newfound positive perspective. So we've compiled a list of happy, idyllic, wonderful little unique places in the Last Frontier that we're sure you'll love. After each town name is a blue title with clickable link - so feel free to give them a "tap" and learn a little something special about what each and every one has to offer. :-)  Flickr - JLS Photography - Alaska
