Alaska and Hawaii are non-contiguous states, meaning they do not border any other state.

Alaska is a continental state, however, as it is located on the North American continent. It occupies the Northwestern corner of North America and borders Canada to the east.

Hawaii is not a continental state, as it is an island state. It is located in Oceania, practically midway between North America and Asia.

The contiguous U.S.is made from the lower forty-eght states plus the District of Columbia. The continental U.S. contains the contiguous U.S. plus Alaska.Since the District of Columbia is not a state, when you speak of the lower forty-eight, you are not including D.C.Remember it this way. Alaska is part of the North America continent, hence it is part of the continental U.S. Generally, you don't say contiguous 48, just contiguous U.S.See Sources and related links for more information.
