Unrivaled Outdoors & Cozy City Comforts 

Anchorage delivers unrivaled Alaska outdoors steps away from cozy city comforts. Hike a mountain under the midnight sun, kayak to an icy blue glacier, or cast for salmon in an urban stream. Outdoor adventures are only the start; Anchorage has dining, performing arts, and cultural draws waiting to be explored.

Glaciers and Trails Galore

An extensive trail system connects parks to every part of town. Chugach State Park is minutes from downtown Anchorage, boasting nearly a half-million acres of untamed wilderness and endless trails, it’s one of the largest state parks in the nation.

With 60 glaciers within 50 miles of Anchorage, you can enjoy these frozen marvels by land, sea, and air.

Abundant Wildlife

Anchorage’s wildlife roams city parks, flocks to local coastlines, and teems in nearby waterways. Follow the lifecycle of Chinook salmon as they make their way up Ship Creek. Watch for moose browsing through the brush along local trails. For guaranteed views, visit the Alaska Zoo or Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

Diverse Cultural Experiences

Shaped by the area’s Dena’ina Athabascan roots, Anchorage is a cultural crown jewel. At the Alaska Native Heritage Center, explore exhibits, performances, and stories from Alaska Native peoples. The Anchorage Museum showcases Alaska stories, art, and the diverse cultures that shaped the community and state.

City Scene

Sip beers made with glacial water at local breweries, savor fresh Alaska seafood like wild salmon and king crab, or see everything from national touring acts to live music from local performers.

Direct flights from Portland put the city within easy reach, while endless Alaska beauty makes it impossible to forget.
