Anchorage

Alaska's largest city, Anchorage is a thriving center where nature and man coexist side by side. Under the glimmering lights of the aurora borealis and surrounded by the foothills of the Chugach mountains, this city is one step away from the wilds of Alaska. From dog sledding across glaciers, whale-watching on the ocean, fishing by a river and paddling on Eklutna Lake's mirrored surface, Anchorage has a wealth of outdoor adventures to offer. There is a tinge of the unusual in every element of this charming city. With its breathtaking panoramic views to its fresh local cuisine, Anchorage has plenty to offer visitors.
