As previously stated Alaska is indeed the largest state...Period.
We have 17 of the tallest mountains in North America (including the tallest Mt. McKinley), more coastline than the entire continental United States...combined; and we have more than 1/2 the world's glaciers. We have a borough (or county if you prefer) the size of the state of Montana... all this, and they pay us to live here (Alaska's Permanent Fund).
And yet despite the fact that we are indeed two and a half times larger than Texas, Rhode Island has more road surface than we do.

The state of Alaska is the biggest state in the United States of America, larger than all the other 49 states including Texas. The total land area of Alaska including the islands is 663,267 sq mi (1,717,854 sq km) while the land area of Texas the second largest state is 268,581 sq mi (695,622 sq km), which means Alaska is more than double the size of Texas and about one-fifth the size of the entire continental United States (3,718,711 sq mi 9,631,418 sq km).
However in terms of population Texas has the upper hand with a population comprising 20,851,820 persons while Alaska has a population comprising 626,932 persons.

Simply put...yes. Of course, Alaska's population is small, but the area of land is larger than any other state.
