Visiting Anchorage

Located on the shores of Cook Inlet and at the foot of the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is a unique urban environment set in the heart of a great pristine wilderness.

Anchorage is a place of unexpected delights, and it's cultural offerings are no exception. Afterall, this is a city that had a symphony before it had paved roads! Although we won't comment on the ability of our first symphony orchestra, it is really quite excellent at present as is our Museum which specializes in native artifacts and culture. In any event, our surrrounding state and national parkland provides plenty of opportunities to see Alaska wildlife in their natural settings as well as other non-urban activities more oriented to the outdoors. Unlike most cities in the lower 48, residents of Anchorage regularly experience moose walking about their neighborhoods.

A 30 minute drive on either of the 2 highways leaving Anchorage (we only have 2, and one goes North and one goes South) will put you in real wilderness country. In fact, within the last several years, we've had residents killed by grizzly bears within a 1/2 hour drive of downtown Anchorage while hiking in the mountains. We say that not to scare you, but to emphasize the unusual location of Anchorage and the natural resources and wildlife that surround it.
