What to see & do

Hike

Flattop Mountain

Anchorage’s most-climbed peak — a Chugach State Park classic with 360° views over the city, Cook Inlet, and (on a clear day) Denali. ~15 minutes from every home.

Bike & Walk

Tony Knowles Coastal Trail

11 paved miles hugging Cook Inlet from downtown to Kincaid Park — moose, beluga whales, and sunset over the inlet.

Wildlife

Potter Marsh Wildlife Boardwalk

A boardwalk over a coastal marsh teeming with salmon, waterfowl, and the occasional moose or bear. Easy, stroller-friendly, ~12 minutes away.

Day Trip

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

A host favorite — see bears, moose, musk ox, and bison up close on the drive toward Girdwood and Portage Glacier.

Culture

Alaska Native Heritage Center

Living exhibits, dancing, and traditional dwellings telling the story of Alaska’s eleven major cultural groups.

Culture

Anchorage Museum

Alaska’s largest museum — art, history, and the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center, right downtown.

Day Trip

Seward & Kenai Fjords

A stunning 2.5-hour drive south to glacier-and-wildlife cruises in Kenai Fjords National Park.

Day Trip

Girdwood & Alyeska

40 minutes south: the Alyeska aerial tram, alpine hikes, and the Glacier Discovery train in summer.

Day Trip

Matanuska Valley & Big Lake

Where the Grimms love to boat — farmland, lakes, and the road to Hatcher Pass north of the city.
