Anchorage Activities: Explore the Last Frontier
Bordered by the Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains, Alaska's largest city enjoys a temperate climate thanks to the mountain range and waterfront and serves as a hub for adventure. In the summer, the extended daylight hours provide ample time for outdoor activities. The Anchorage Trail System, including the Ship Creek Trail and Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, offers popular hiking and biking routes.
Anchorage sightseeing trips range from glacier and river tours to flightseeing experiences via seaplane and helicopter. Visitors can enjoy float trips on the Matanuska River, trolley tours and summer glacier dog sled tours from Girdwood. Tour companies often provide convenient transportation and sightseeing excursions to nearby national parks like Denali, Kenai Fjords, and Wrangell-St. Elias. A tour to see the northern lights can be a bucket-list experience if you have the timing right.
