Happy birthday, Alaska!

The Last Frontier turns 50 this year, and the deals are everywhere. Opening this month, Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge—the only accommodations in the spectacularly rugged Kenai Fjords National Park—is honoring the milestone with 15 percent off two or more nights in its rustic log cabins in the month of June*. At most Princess Lodges, your third night is free, and Holland America Line is discounting cruises up to 50 percent. And if it's your 50th, too? Try $50 off Rust's Flying Service adventure flights, a free daylong rail trip with Alaska Railroad, or a free second night at any of Denali Park Resorts' four lodges (travelalaska.com).
