Anchorage:
Gateway to Adventure
Of all the world's cities, Anchorage uniquely combines
the conveniences of the modern world with a rugged,
natural environment that has all but vanished from
populated regions of the world. In Anchorage, you can
watch moose in the morning and ballet in the afternoon.
You can take a short flight to see some mountain scenery
on earth, then be back for fresh seafood at a five-star
restaurant.
Anchorage is
an urban enclave surrounded by wilderness.
Within a few miles of downtown, you
can encounter scenes more wild than
you'll find in most national parks:
wolf packs roaming through a park,
rushing mountain streams, and city
parks vast enough to forget which century
you live in. The world's second highest
tides surge against its shores, and
North America's highest peak glimmers
in the distance.
Most
of all, Anchorage is a gateway to
adventure. You can experience all
Alaska has to offer and never check
out of your hotel. Flightsee over Mt. McKinley, fish
a wilderness river, or visit grizzly bears via air
taxi. See calving glaciers and enormous whales on a
day cruise. Hike to a glacier, climb a mountaintop,
or drive some of the world’s most spectacular
highways.
For culture and shopping,
there's no better place in Alaska.
Collect the prized works of Alaska's
top artists and native craftspeople
in galleries. Learn about our rich
history in museums and heritage centers.
Catch a show at one of our performance
halls.
For those who know
where to look, the opportunities are
endless.
