What To Expect

Anchorage (Pass By)

Earthquake Park

This quiet, forested area marks the site of one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history: the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake. Measuring 9.2 on the Richter scale, it remains the strongest earthquake ever recorded in North America and the second strongest in the world.Here, the earth quite literally gave way. A once-thriving Anchorage neighborhood slid into the Cook Inlet when the ground dropped more than 30 feet in seconds. Today, you can still see the contours of the land where it buckled and shifted—a haunting, beautiful landscape shaped by seismic force.Interpretive signs throughout the park offer insight into what happened, while elevated viewpoints give you sweeping vistas of Cook Inlet, Mount Susitna ("Sleeping Lady"), and on a clear day, even Mount Denali in the distance.

Lake Hood Harbor (Pass By)

What might look like a peaceful lake is actually the busiest seaplane base on Earth, with up to 500 takeoffs and landings per day during the summer months.With over 80% of Alaska’s communities unreachable by road, planes are a lifeline. From bush pilots flying supplies to remote villages, to scenic tour operators and backcountry adventurers, Lake Hood is the heartbeat of Alaska’s aviation culture.

Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary (Pass By)

Stretching along the southern end of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, this peaceful wetland is a haven for birds, moose, and serene natural beauty.A winding wooden boardwalk extends out over the marsh, allowing guests to walk gently above the water and grasses. From here, you might spot trumpeter swans, arctic terns, bald eagles, and dozens of migratory bird species, especially during spring and summer. Look closely into the water below—you may see spawning salmon, darting trout, or even a shy muskrat gliding past.

Beluga Point

This dramatic stretch of coastline offers panoramic views of Turnagain Arm, with the Chugach Mountains towering behind and tides that can rise and fall as much as 30 feet—among the highest in the world. The landscape shifts constantly with light and water, creating an unforgettable backdrop for photos and reflection.In the summer months, this spot earns its name: Beluga whales can often be seen surfacing close to shore, following schools of salmon as the tide comes in. With a bit of luck and patience, you may spot their white backs gliding through the silvery water.It’s also a great place to look for Dall sheep high on the cliffs above, or simply pause to take in the raw, expansive beauty that makes Alaska feel so alive.

Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel

Stretching 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) beneath Maynard Mountain, this tunnel is the longest combined rail and highway tunnel in North America. What makes it truly unique is its one-lane configuration: cars and trains take turns passing through, and direction alternates every 15 minutes—a process carefully coordinated by traffic signals and tunnel staff.Originally built during World War II to provide access to the strategic port town of Whittier, the tunnel was named after Anton Anderson, the chief engineer and visionary behind the project. It was opened to vehicular traffic in 2000, transforming Whittier from an isolated military post into a scenic cruise and ferry hub.
