Plan your Anchorage
trip with AI

Why visit Anchorage?

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska, set on Cook Inlet in the southcentral part of the state. The Chugach Mountains rise directly behind the city, and moose are regularly seen in its parks and neighborhoods. It is the main arrival point for most visitors and a convenient base for exploring wild Alaska.

Walk or cycle the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail along the inlet, with views of the mountains and, on clear days, Denali far to the north. Learn about the state's history and cultures at the Anchorage Museum and the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Hike up Flattop Mountain in Chugach State Park, one of the most popular climbs in Alaska. Drive the Seward Highway along Turnagain Arm, stopping at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and the resort town of Girdwood. Continue to Seward for boat tours of Kenai Fjords National Park, with glaciers, whales and sea otters. Eat wild salmon, halibut and reindeer sausage, and in winter look for the northern lights or watch the ceremonial start of the Iditarod sled dog race in March.
