Anchorage is Alaska’s biggest city, with 40% of the state’s population, but that is still less than 300,000 residents and awesome wilderness dominates this unique destination. In fact, the towering peaks and dense forests of Chugach State Park are mostly within the Anchorage city limits. Visitors can go dogsledding on a glacier in the morning and enjoy craft beers in downtown breweries in the afternoon. The city bustle, art and music, museums, and the Native American Heritage Center are all located within minutes of alpine hikes, wilderness lakes, excellent mountain biking, incredible wildlife and more in this amazing Alaskan city.
