Anchorage

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, despite the fact that it is not the state capital. It is nestled among the Kenai, Talkeetna, and Chugach mountains. It has all the amenities of a big American metropolis yet is only a 30-minute drive from the Alaskan wilderness. The magnificent Chugach State Park, which spans approximately 500,000 acres, is easily accessible from this city.

The city has a plethora of activities that will certainly astound everyone. For example, the largest Anchorage Museum, convenient access to Chugach State Park, fishing, whale watching, experiencing the midnight sun, and sampling local king crabs and salmon! If you travel in March, don't miss the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which begins in downtown Anchorage.
