WELCOME TO ANCHORAGE

We look forward to making your visit the trip of a lifetime. I grew up in Alaska, and I know firsthand what an amazing place Anchorage is. But you don’t have to take

my word for it; plenty of others have discovered Anchorage and have great things to say about our city.

Outdoor adventures and natural beauty garner a lot of praise here. Runners World and Bicycling Magazine each have recognized our superb trail system, which stretches for hundreds of miles. Bloomberg calls Anchorage one of the most fun and affordable cities in the country. You don’t need to spend much to get Alaska-size adventures in Anchorage. Glaciers, wildlife and mountain vistas: they are all right here in the city or a few minutes away.

Our fun isn’t strictly in summer. We’re the No. 1 Winter City in America (thanks, livability.com) and our winter festival, Fur Rendezvous, was crowned Best Winter Carnival in the world by National Geographic.

The city itself holds some surprises as well. You’ll find comfortable accommodations and great dining and shopping. Even the flavors of Anchorage stand out. We’ve won awards for Best Tasting Water, and Travel + Leisure gives us kudos as one of the nation’s best beer cities.

There’s a reason we’ve been named an All-America City four times and recognized as a TripAdvisor® Destination on the Rise. You can read all about what Anchorage has in store for you, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. We can’t wait to welcome you to Alaska and show you all of it in person!

ANCHORAGE

ADVENTURE STARTS HEREAlaska has the highest concentration of glaciers in the country, and more than 50 of them can be found within 50 miles of downtown Anchorage. Spot moose and eagles in parks, on trails and even along city streets! Summer days stretch to midnight and beyond. “Unique” doesn’t begin to describe the wonders here.

Anchorage is the place to orient, gear up and immerse in Alaska. Dive deep into Alaska’s rich history and diverse Alaska Native traditions. In Anchorage, gain an understanding of the great forces – both natural and human – that make Alaska such a special place.

ACCESSIBLE YEAR-ROUNDEven from above, snow-capped mountains tower and deep, glacier-carved valleys provide air passengers a glimpse of the adventures that await. With more than 150 daily passenger flights and 5 million passengers yearly, Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport makes Anchorage the air crossroads of the world. The airport is just six miles from downtown, easily accessible by taxi, bus or hotel shuttle.

Upon arrival, find the best connections to the whole of Alaska by road, rail and air. The Alaska Railroad’s largest depot links Anchorage and Girdwood to Whittier, Seward, Talkeetna, Denali National Park and Fairbanks. And Anchorage is also home of the world’s busiest floatplane base, Lake Hood.

Cruise north on a ship from Vancouver, British Columbia, and enjoy the journey past calving glaciers and breaching humpback whales. Dock in Whittier or Seward for an easy connection to Anchorage. Or hop aboard the ferries of the Alaska Marine Highway System in Bellingham, Washington.

Driving to Alaska is the ultimate road trip. Anchorage can be reached from anywhere in North America year-round via the fully paved Alaska Highway. Whether driving a car or motor home, rolling through wide-open spaces, past pristine lakes and streams and abundant wildlife is an adventure in itself.

5Official Guide to Anchorage

ASK FOR ADVICE – Odds are someone close to you has been to Alaska already, so take advantage of firsthand knowledge of friends and family. Still stumped? Volunteers and staff at visitor information centers know Alaska best. They are friendly, dedicated and chock full of helpful ideas for your trip.

KNOW YOUR GEOGRAPHY – Alaska is big. Nearly 365 million acres means the sky is the limit for adventures. But you’ll need to consider the distances involved. With a little forethought, you can still explore a sizeable swath of the state. A central location like Anchorage allows you to make the most of road, rail, air and sea connections.

DO IT FOR FREE – Just because it’s the trip of a lifetime doesn’t mean it is costly. Some of the most amazing things in Alaska are inexpensive or completely free! Walking the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail in Anchorage won’t cost you a cent, but your views may include Mount McKinley and Mount Susitna, also known as Sleeping Lady, and you might come across a moose or an eagle. The state and national parks in Alaska are some of the most beautiful spaces in the world and can be explored for as little as the cost of parking at a trailhead.

READ UP – The Web makes it easy to learn about Alaska, so check out VisitAnchorage.com for travel information, the latest events and the best deals.

DON’T SHORT YOUR TIME – It’s one of the few laments of past Alaska travelers: “I wish I had made time to ___.” Don’t make the same mistake! Allow enough time to walk the coast, cast for salmon as the sun slowly crawls across the sky and follow the wildlife viewing tip you got from the local sitting next to you.

DAYLIGHT – Summer days are long in Alaska. On solstice Anchorage gets 22 hours of functional daylight, so there’s plenty of time for one more Alaska adventure. Golfers can tee off at 10 p.m. on one of Anchorage’s three courses. Even on the shortest day of the year, the city enjoys seven and a half hours of daylight. And from fireworks at local events to the vibrant northern lights, Alaska’s winter skies are bursting with color.

CLIMATE – Spend sunny summer months in the mid 60s. Warmed by a maritime climate, Anchorage is spared from low temperatures, with winter days averaging 20 degrees – perfect for skiing, ice skating or dog mushing.

PRICES – Anchorage is much more affordable than many other U.S. cities. The city has no sales tax, so gift shopping or finding the perfect piece of Alaska art just makes cents!

Alaska inspires tall tales but there are a few misconceptions to clear up before a trip to the Last Frontier. For example, a passport is only needed if your Alaska trip goes through Canada. Alaska isn’t a faraway destination – check out the nonstop flight times to Anchorage from these U.S. and international cities.

TRAVEL TIPSWith the mountains and forests of Chugach State Park beckoning to the east and the waters of Cook Inlet sparkling to the west, Anchorage is filled with Alaska-size adventures. Metropolitan luxuries mix with unrivaled natural wonders to make Anchorage an unforgettable destination.

Salmon viewing at Eagle River Nature Center


A SURE THINGThere are plenty of opportunities to spot Alaska’s feathered, furry or finned friends year-round. Hundreds of miles of trails and huge parks offer convenient wildlife-viewing opportunities within Anchorage. Looking for guaranteed views of the state’s menagerie? Explore the largest variety of wildlife in the state at the Alaska Zoo. Spread across 25 acres in south Anchorage, the zoo is home to bears, moose, wolves, caribou, musk oxen, arctic fox and more. It’s the perfect place for the whole family to enjoy Alaska’s wild things. Snap an unforgettable wildlife photo of the grizzlies, wood bison, lynx and elk at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, just 12 miles south of Girdwood. The center provides spacious enclosures and also quality care for injured and orphaned animals in its 200-acre park.

THE WILDLIFE HAVENHundreds of bird species call Anchorage home or stop in the city during annual migrations. Spot loons, pintails, terns and other birds from the boardwalks at Potter Marsh. It’s not just an aviary attraction either; the marsh is a favorite spot for beavers and moose. Why end the expedition there? Drive south along the scenic Seward Highway for more wildlife sightings. Dall sheep dot the rocky cliffs on one side of the road while beluga whales swim Turnagain Arm on the other.

Find Alaska’s creatures in the wild with a guided tour by boat, plane, helicopter, train or car. Countless tours delve deep into national and state parks, providing visitors with once-in-a-lifetime viewing experiences.

Anchorage’s animal residents are a very visible part of the population. The city teems with wildlife. Moose browse along urban trails as if at an all-you-can-eat leafy buffet. Monstrous king salmon surge up Ship Creek steps away from downtown. Eagles swoop along treetops, scanning the waters for a meal. Catch a glimpse of a bear making a dash into brush. Anchorage is Big Wild Life™.

WILDLIFE

About 1,500 moose call the city home. While it is not uncommon to see one, here are a few of the best places to spot them in the wild:

The lush woods and quiet setting of Kincaid Park draws plenty of Alaska’s favorite herbivores.

Though best known for birds, Potter Marsh is a favorite feeding ground for moose.

Whether you choose to go on foot or by bike, the paved Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is a prime route to find moose.

Browsing along the edge of town, moose love Chugach State Park. Glen Alps trailhead, Eagle River Nature Center and McHugh Creek are among the most convenient access points.

BEST AREAS TO FIND MOOSE

PARKS & TRAILS

With more than 135 miles of paved trails, Anchorage is a summer haven for walkers, runners, bikers and skaters, and a winter paradise for cross-country skiers and fat-tire cyclists. More than 300 miles of unpaved and wilderness trails open exciting possibilities for hiking, horseback riding, snowshoeing and even dog mushing.

LOCAL GEMSAnchorage’s first-class network of paved trails is perfect for a run, leisurely walk or bike ride. Not sure where to start? The paved, multi-use Tony Knowles Coastal Trail stretches 11 miles along Cook Inlet from downtown to Kincaid Park, tying into the city’s trail network and parks along the way. Renting a bicycle in downtown Anchorage is easy and affordable. For runners there are iconic races that make the most of treasured trails; the Mayor’s Marathon & Half Marathon soaks up the sun around summer solstice weekend, and the Big Wild Life™ Runs takes runners along the Cook Inlet coast and banks of Chester Creek every August.

TAKE A HIKEChugach State Park, one of the largest state parks in the country, encompasses wilderness streams, towering forests and more than 50 glaciers, many still unnamed. This 500,000-acre playground offers some of Alaska’s most accessible hiking, biking, climbing, camping, skiing and snowmobiling – all at the city’s doorstep.

Stunning views are easy to find; the 15-mile drive or shuttle ride from downtown to the Glen Alps Trailhead offers sweeping views of Anchorage even before reaching the destination. Accessible from the trailhead, the 3,510-foot Flattop Mountain is Alaska’s most popular hike. Burn calories on the way to the summit or consume a few extra with a stop to pick berries in late summer. Paths

afford a dramatic city skyline, Cook Inlet vistas or stunning mountain outlooks every step of the way.

Routes ranging from hikes of less than a mile to multi-day treks over Crow Pass all start at the Eagle River Nature Center. The center offers interpretive programs and great wildlife-viewing opportunities throughout the year, as well as yurt and public-use cabin rentals.

Just north of Eagle River, Thunderbird Falls Trail is a gentle one-mile journey through a birch forest that leads to a roaring 200-foot waterfall.

PADDLE AND PEDALExplore treasures tucked into the mountains around Eklutna Lake and Glacier. The seven-mile-long glacial lake is ideal for kayaking, and the trail along the water’s edge is perfect for a bike ride or all-terrain vehicle trip.

Winner Creek Trail, Girdwood

Lace up those shoes and choose the outdoor adventure that’s right for you.

BY AIR AND SEARace along the terminus of Knik Glacier in a helicopter or touch down at a camp high atop a glacier for summer dog sledding. Ski-equipped planes are another aerial way to explore Alaska glaciers; land on one in the shadow of Mount McKinley for a mid-summer snowball fight.

Rather float than fly? Head for the protected waters of Prince William Sound and cruise the many glaciers of College Fjord and Blackstone Bay. Or venture deep into Kenai Fjords National Park for a view of Aialik or Holgate glaciers coupled with an afternoon of marine wildlife sightings.

For paddling, hiking or climbing at Spencer Glacier, the Alaska Railroad is the ticket to adventure. Once the train pulls away from the whistle stop, spend quality time with your fellow travelers and an Alaska glacier for the day.

Getting a look at these icy wonders doesn’t take a lot of effort. In this part of Alaska, even a scenic drive along the Seward Highway has glacier views. The posh Seven Glaciers Restaurant in Girdwood pairs fine dining with alpine views of seven hanging glaciers. The aerial tram ride to the restaurant is just an appetizer of the panoramic vistas in store.

A sharp crack is followed by a long, low rumble. Suddenly, a massive piece of ice shears from the face of the glacier and tumbles to the water below. It’s one of the awe-inspiring spectacles synonymous with Alaska. Here in Anchorage, glaciers are within reach. These natural gems are easy to find, and that eerie blue ice stretches as far as the eye can see.

Portage Lake

Spencer Glacier

ICY MARVELSGlaciers are among Anchorage’s most popular stops: from day cruises to flightseeing and easy hikes to extreme treks, start your glacial exploration in Anchorage. Chugach State Park alone holds 50 of these natural marvels. Weave around icebergs on a one-hour cruise to the face of Portage Glacier aboard the mv Ptarmigan. Stroll along the lake shore or take an interpretive walk or ice worm safari from nearby Begich, Boggs Visitor Center to another of the glaciers in the Portage Valley. Or sink an ice axe into Byron Glacier on an ice-climbing trip – all just

15 miles south of Girdwood, or 55 miles from downtown Anchorage!

ROADSIDE WONDERChecking out a glacier can be as easy as pulling off the road at a scenic overlook. Views line the drive to Exit Glacier near Seward, and all that separates the visitors center from the toe of the glacier itself is a brief walk. Pull off the highway at Matanuska Glacier north of Anchorage. A view of Matanuska Valley’s prized ice is steps from the parking lot, and guided hikes and climbing trips are a great way to get an up-close look.

drawn to massive rookeries on rocky cliffs to hatch and raise their young. Sea lions and seals haul out on the rocks near shore, while otters cluster together lounging in the water. The thunderous crash of ice echoes in coves and bays as tidewater glaciers end their journey down from the mountains in the park’s waters.

America’s largest park, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, is filled with adventure. With more than 20,000 square miles of land, the park has limitless backcountry possibilities but holds other surprises as well. Malaspina Glacier stretches more than 1,500 square miles and is North America’s largest piedmont glacier. Explore Alaska’s fevered gold rush development at Kennecott Mines or the famous salmon runs of the Copper River.

Lake Clark and Katmai national parks are home to famous bear viewing spots along waterfalls and the Cook Inlet coast. For a few months during the summer, massive bears camp out along the waterways in search of returning salmon. Each park is easily accessible by air from Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage, and remote lodges welcome park visitors.

NEARBY & NEARLY UNBELIEVABLEThe Chugach Mountains create more than a dramatic skyline for Anchorage. They are a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Combined, Chugach State Park and Chugach National Forest stretch across more than 9,000 square miles. It’s some of the most accessible and popular wilderness in Alaska, offering plenty of variety. Seemingly endless hiking trails meander through valleys and along ridgelines. Secluded lakes and streams are perfect for kayaking, rafting or a day of fishing. And dozens of glaciers dot the land. Best of all, some of the top trailheads and access points are just 20 minutes from downtown.

NATIONAL TREASURESBy area, Alaska has more than 50 percent of the national parkland in the United States, and many of the most famous are within easy reach from Anchorage.

There are few places as synonymous with Alaska as Denali National Park & Preserve. By car, train or plane, the trip to Denali is an unforgettable one. The first place in Alaska

to be designated a national park, Denali is home to the tallest peak in North America. Even from Anchorage, Mount McKinley is visible on the horizon. Soar above the peaks over the frozen course of glaciers on a flightseeing excursion or drive north for a trip deep into the park to spot bears, caribou, wolves and other animals.

For marine wildlife and glacier views, Kenai Fjords National Park near Seward is a must. Explore the waters of the park on a day cruise and watch gray, humpback and minke whales feed in the nutrient-rich waters. Gulls, puffins and murres are

Anchorage has unrivaled access to parks, forests and public lands. Five national parks are within easy reach. Bears snap up salmon in surging rivers, and North America’s tallest mountain, Mount McKinley, looms large.

STEP BY STEPThe Log Cabin Visitor Information Center is a local landmark and also the perfect starting point. Find tours, trips and free transportation to area attractions and accomodations, as well as free advice and travel tips from the pros. Choose from walking tours that highlight local history. Spin tales of spooky apparitions with Ghost Tours of Anchorage. Or snap a better shot on a photo walk with Alaska Photo Treks. A stroll in Anchorage yields more than just fresh air. Thousands of flowers dot the city in hanging baskets and garden beds, making any exploration colorful.

Just a few blocks north, Ship Creek flows through town. Anchorage actually got its start on the banks of the creek 100 years ago. While the tent city is long gone, cast for king salmon, watch fish swim upstream or stop in at the nearby Ulu Factory to pick up Alaska’s iconic knife.

BEHIND THE WHEELClimb aboard one of the free shuttles departing from the Log Cabin at Fourth Avenue and F Street to the Alaska Native Heritage Center, Anchorage Museum, Ulu Factory or Alaska Zoo. Paid tours and shuttles are an inexpensive way to spend a little time outside the city center. Anchorage City Trolley Tours offers one-hour sightseeing tours that start and end downtown. Or head for the mountains instead; amazing hikes and fantastic views are just minutes away. Hop the Flattop Mountain Shuttle or drive to the Glen Alps Trailhead in Southeast Anchorage and check out Flattop Mountain, the most climbed mountain in Alaska.

Renting a car opens up even more options for the day. An amazing number of glaciers are within driving distance. Visiting one can be as easy as pulling off the road for

a few minutes or as exhilarating as a day spent hiking or climbing. If you prefer gold over glaciers, Indian Valley Mine and Crow Creek Mine allow visitors to pan at historic strikes. Or let someone else do the driving all day; tour companies can share the best spots for wildlife viewing, get into Iditarod-style fun or even find a frothy favorite on a craft brewery tour.

EXCITEMENT BY TRAINCatch trains headed north and south from the historic Alaska Railroad depot. Trains depart downtown for adventures outside of the city and return the same evening. Head to Spencer Glacier for a day of secluded hiking, climbing or paddling. Explore the historic Loop District, or hop the Coastal Classic for a trip to Seward and Kenai Fjords National Park. Day trippers with a ticket northbound can survey scenic Hurricane Gulch or reach Denali National Park through the town of Talkeetna.

BIRDS’-EYE VIEWFlightseeing tours depart Anchorage to places that will take your breath away. North America’s tallest mountain looms large and day trips aboard bush planes put the summit in sight for visitors of all types. Many planes are equipped with skis that allow for glacier landings amid the stark peaks of the Alaska Range.

Helicopters and planes are often the best way to reach secluded sites like lodges, and bear viewing or fishing hotspots. Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage is the perfect place to start tours and trips to all three. Fly out and spend the day, and you might just decide a longer stay is exactly what you need.

Anchorage plants more than 80,000 flowers in 270 flower beds around town. Stop and smell the roses, geraniums, begonias, pansies or dahlias. Check out beds tended by master gardeners in Town Square Park. Learn more about Southcentral flora and check out what’s growing at the Alaska Botanical Garden.

DIVE INTO VIBRANT CULTURESAlthough it’s one of the youngest states in the union, Alaska’s history stretches back millennia. Anchorage is home to members of each Alaska Native cultural group. Native traditions, dances and stories are passed down through generations. The influence of the Dena’ina Athabascan, Southcentral Alaska’s first people, is most evident even in one of the city’s most modern buildings, the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center.

This rich heritage is woven into the tapestry of the city as a whole. Study it up close in museums and cultural centers across Anchorage. Experience the traditions of Alaska Native life – both past and present – at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Engaging storytelling, authentic song and dance and the finely hewn crafts of skilled artisans show just how vibrant Native culture is in the Great Land. Discover a treasure trove of 600 Alaska Native artifacts in the Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center at the Anchorage Museum. Just north of downtown, explore the intriguing mix of Russian Orthodox and Dena’ina Athabascan beliefs at the Eklutna Historical Park.

TREASURES FROM THE PASTDiscover 10,000 years of history, from the ice age through today, in the Alaska Gallery and extensive art collections at the Anchorage Museum. The state’s largest museum beckons with world-class traveling exhibits. Zip through the cosmos in the Thomas Planetarium. Travel back in time with prehistoric fossils and artifacts at the Alaska Museum of Science and Nature. Hear stories of heroism and learn about the lives of the state’s men and women in uniform at the Alaska Veterans Museum. Let imagination take flight at the Alaska Aviation Museum with a close-up look at rare aircraft that helped shape Alaska’s story.

CULTURE & HISTORYCULTURE & HISTORY

Tales of Athabascan fishing camps, Captain Cook’s discoveries in 1778, Russian winter trading posts and gold rush riches; delve into the history of Southcentral Alaska to find all this and more.

ATHLETICISM, ALASKA STYLE

Phenomenal balance, unreal flexibility and sheer athletic power are on display as hundreds of youth gather in Anchorage for the annual NYO Games. Open to all Alaska school students, each event in the NYO Games is based on sports past generations of Alaska Native people played as a way to test their hunting and survival skills, increase strength and maintain endurance, agility and the balance of mind and body. Held annually in April, the Olympic-style games bring sporting traditions of Alaska’s first people to Anchorage.

FISHING

Anchorage is the place where fish tales come true and the “big one” is a cast away. Whether donning well-worn waders or just testing the waters, anglers of all skill levels will find a fishing hole right for them. Find expert angling advice and all the gear for an expedition in Anchorage.

LOCAL WATERSThe dream of landing a trophy fish lures people from around the globe to Anchorage, where angling starts just a stone’s throw from downtown. Outfitters can set you up to fish for kings, silvers, trout and more. Ship Creek is just steps away from downtown. Land a monster salmon in the shadow of Anchorage high rises. Join in the Slam’n Salm’n Derby, held annually in June, for a little urban angling, with prizes for biggest fish caught during the peak of the king salmon run. Want to stay dry? Size up salmon from the viewing platform on the banks of the creek or head for the fish hatchery.

A short drive south of Anchorage, toss a line into Bird Creek for silvers and pinks. Rainbow trout, Dolly Varden and arctic char thrive in Campbell Point Lake, Sand Lake, Jewel Lake and other bodies of water across the city. Not all anglers wear waders – some wear fur; keep a respectable distance from bears

looking for a catch of their own.

GONE FISHIN’More of Alaska’s legendary fishing spots are just a short drive from downtown Anchorage. Catch moments of serenity while casting for one of the five species of salmon; there are

dozens of small, secluded streams and lakes just a short drive outside the city.

Head north to the Deshka and Susitna rivers for salmon, or cast for grayling and rainbows in Mat-Su area lakes. Find arctic grayling in quiet rural lakes north of the city.

To the south, the Kenai and Russian rivers teem with salmon, and in the deep waters near Whittier or Seward, huge halibut lie in wait. Hook up with a charter service or guide and spend a few hours or a whole weekend on the water.

When the trip is done, go home with more than just fish tales. Local processors can prepare and ship fish home – fresh from Alaska waters to the table.

FISHING FACTS

WINTER

NORTHERN LIGHTS DELIGHTVibrant blues, pinks, greens and yellows sway in the sky, marking the path of the dancing aurora. The northern lights can be seen swirling in Anchorage’s starlit skies as early as 8 p.m. during prime winter viewing months. Find a secluded spot or hook up with a guided tour for a night of viewing in cozy comfort.

MAKE TRACKSMore than 100 miles of groomed ski trails wind through the city, and lighted pathways make anytime the right time for a quick cross-country jaunt. Ski the world-renowned courses that have hosted national and international champions. Kincaid Park is recognized as one of the nation’s finest cross-country ski areas and is free and open to the public.

Carve fresh tracks at one of Anchorage’s downhill ski and snowboard spots. The wide-open high bowls of Arctic Valley beckon from the north. In town, Hilltop Ski Area has 30 acres of convenient, accessible terrain. Just 42 miles south of downtown, Alyeska Resort is the state’s

premier alpine ski destination. Powder hounds can find endless backcountry skiing opportunities in the Chugach Mountains, with heli-skiing operations taking off from Girdwood.

Make figure eights or practice wrist shots at local skate ponds and rinks. It’s the perfect way to stay on the cutting edge of winter fun.

POWDER POWERA reliable dog team and well-crafted sled were vital for Alaska’s indigenous people and gold-seeking sourdoughs. Today dog sledding is preserved as Alaska’s state sport. Hop in the basket for a ride or learn the secrets of running a dog team during a half, full or multi-day trip with experienced mushers.There’s another way to

race across the Last Frontier, too. Rev up for adventures on snowmobile tours. The ride is a rush and leads to amazing Alaska locations that can’t be reached easily on foot. Zip through wooded trails or explore the deep blue ice of a glacier in the Chugach Mountains. Alaskans call them snowmachines, but you can just call ‘em fun!

HOT EVENTS, COOL TEMPS

CELEBRATE WINTER ANCHORAGE STYLE WITH THESE CLASSIC EVENTS:

Miners and trappers created Anchorage Fur Rendezvous 80 years ago as a way to relax after a full year of work. Affectionately known as Rondy, today it

includes Alaska Native tribal gatherings, the sprint-style action of the World Championship Sled Dog Races and wacky events: outhouse races, the Frostbite Footrace and the Running of the Reindeer.

Watch the start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race® on the first Saturday in March in downtown Anchorage. Stake out a spot at the start line or farther down the trail and wish the mushers luck on their 1,000 mile journey to Nome.

2015 EVENTS CALENDAR

Featured Event DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGEVisitAnchorage.com/2015EventsGET MORE!

Mark your calendar! Anchorage has a full slate of events year round.


SHAPING HISTORYThe Anchorage Centennial commemorates the founding of Anchorage in 1915, but celebrations reach much farther back into the full breadth of Anchorage history. Long before Europeans arrived, Dena’ina Athabascans called the region home. Learn about these first Alaska Native residents, or view the region through the eyes of Captain Cook on his 18th century voyage of exploration.

Visit in 2015 and dive into special exhibits about the region’s rich history. The Anchorage Museum will display “Arctic Ambitions: Captain Cook and the Northwest Passage.” As the foremost British explorer of the 18th century, Captain James Cook circumnavigated the globe twice before exploring the waters that flank what is today Anchorage. “City Limits,” tells the story of Anchorage from the Dena’ina people to construction of the Alaska Railroad, and growth from a tent city to an urban center through artifacts, artwork and photographs drawn from the museum’s vast permanent collection.

100 WAYS TO PLAYAnchorage got its start on the banks of Ship Creek as construction of the Alaska Railroad ramped up. A tent city just like the one from the early days will rise again in Anchorage this year. July 2015 celebrates the historic land auction that established the township of Anchorage with a re-creation of the tent city lease sale in a picnic-style celebration. Or join a special birthday party in honor of one of the first residents of the

new town; Oscar Anderson’s home was among the first permanent buildings to go up in Anchorage, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

TRIPS THROUGH TIMENo matter the season, Anchorage is steeped in history. Consider visiting these locations for even more insight into the city’s past.

Downtown Anchorage has grown up, but the city streets trace the same routes first surveyed and mapped in 1915. A walk through the orderly grid of numbered streets and lettered avenues leads to several signs of the early days, including the Kimball Building, Historic City Hall, the turreted Wendler Building and the Historic Anchorage Hotel.

Ship Creek, the site of the tent city in the early days, is now in the heart of downtown and one of the area’s most popular sport fisheries to boot. Stroll or bike the Ship Creek Trail for salmon viewing, historical markers and evidence of Anchorage’s railroad roots.

The rich history of Turnagain Arm includes one of the area’s first human habitations, Cook’s search for the Northwest Passage and loads of gold rush history. Look closely and you’ll spot ghost forests, natural evidence of the 1964 earthquake. It’s regularly recognized as one of America’s most scenic drives.

ANCHORAGECENTENNIAL

Anchorage is turning 100! The city’s centennial celebration culminates in 2015 with exhibits, attractions and events for a special anniversary. It’s an opportunity to share in Anchorage history and a prime chance to explore the fantastic parklands, visit massive glaciers and get a look at wildlife that made this part of Alaska alluring to those first travelers. There are more than 100 years’ worth of good reasons to celebrate.

Explore ways to join the celebration.

The Great Alaska Shootout draws future NBA superstars to Alaska for a showdown. This Thanksgiving weekend tradition is the longest-running preseason college basketball tournament in the nation.

AFTER HOURSDance the night away in Anchorage clubs. Find a beat that gets your body moving or enjoy live music by up-and-coming Alaska bands. Summer can feel like a giant jam session as well-known artists take advantage of some extra sunshine at outdoor concerts in Anchorage. Tap into the city’s bars, trade stories with old friends in a brewpub or meet the locals and hear some real Alaska tales. Discover the works

of talented artists hanging in coffee shops and galleries that dot the city during the First Friday Art Walk each month.

THE BIG SCREENEven the more traditional movie night out has a distinct flair in Anchorage. Watch a movie, sip a local brew and tear into a fresh burrito all inside a theater pub. Catch an IMAX or 3-D film for an eye-popping evening. Or travel to a galaxy far, far away during a show at the Anchorage Museum or University of Alaska Anchorage planetariums.

EVENTSONGOING


WHAT’S BREWINGAlaska has 24 breweries, putting it in the top tier nationally for breweries per capita. Many of them are right here in Southcentral Alaska. Coffee is big in Anchorage too, with one of the highest concentrations of coffee shops and stands in the country. Try Big Wild Life™ blend coffee, with a flavor as bold as Anchorage adventures.

FROM THE SOURCEDelicious dishes prepared with local ingredients and served up fresh – cuisine in Anchorage was homegrown before “locavore” entered the lexicon. Seafood from Alaska waters often gets the attention, but Alaska’s agricultural heartland is just a few miles north of Anchorage. Rich soil in the Matanuska Valley and long summers put local vegetables and potatoes on the menu. Don’t be surprised if the chef whips up a new appetizer with local sea salt or spruce tips or offers a board of house-made charcuterie.

Even forests and mountains can yield tasty surprises. Local berries or birch syrup are often incorporated into recipes. Enjoy them in Anchorage, or take the flavors of Alaska home with you. Local chocolatiers incorporate berries into jelly candies and jars of jam. Dessert makers boil and bottle syrups as well as craft chewy candies with caramel cream. Stock up and savor every bite; though your memories of Alaska will last a lifetime, these sweets tend to disappear fast!

SAVORY SELECTIONSDiscover iconic Alaska flavors not found anywhere else. Dining options range from reindeer sausage sold by downtown street vendors to white-linen restaurants with a bounty for the eyes as well as the tongue.

FIND IT FRESHSavor the tastes of Alaska at Anchorage restaurants. Chefs incorporate local produce plucked from area markets and farms. Time-tested, old-world recipes are infused with fresh ingredients and Alaska flair. Many of Anchorage’s best restaurants are run by locals who got their chops slicing and dicing homegrown foods. You won’t find fresher seafood anywhere. Sample wild Alaska salmon, find innovative halibut and rockfish dishes or crack into crab and shellfish fresh from Alaska waters. From simple cafés to four-star restaurants, Anchorage chefs showcase Alaska crops and catches on center stage.

PALATE WORLD TOURHaven’t had Himalayan? Got a taste for Thai? Salivating for sushi? Anchorage is home to an eclectic blend of restaurants serving up the best dishes from around the world. From the Mediterranean to Mexico, the Philippines to France, visitors can span the globe just by crossing the street. If you need a few more stamps in your culinary passport, look no farther than Anchorage.

DINING

Anchorage is home to refined restaurants, cozy coffee shops and a wide variety of cuisines and cooking styles. Whether it is fine wine, fresh-baked goods, international fare, home cooking or local microbrews, the city caters to the whims of every taste. Looking for the ultimate pairing? Anchorage’s nightlife goes well with any meal.

Get a real taste of Anchorage. City restaurants have it all.

ADVENTURE & ECO TOURS

It’s all in a 365-million-acre backyard. From fishing to float trips, gold panning to golf, Alaska is loaded with outdoor adventures. Take full advantage of the midnight sun: explore Mount McKinley from the air, race across a glacier with a dog team or traverse hidden valleys on horseback. Discover Alaska’s history, science and diverse culture in entertaining and engaging museums, nature parks and gardens. Check out the city’s furry, feathered and finned residents. Cruise Alaska waters teeming with fish and home to a stunning array of seabirds, otters and whales. Paddle pristine lakes and rivers or pedal mountain paths and city trails. Zip across pure white clearings on a snowmobile or break fresh powder in the backcountry of the towering Chugach Mountains.

NIGHTLIFEFAMILY

Dance the night away under the midnight sun or trade the northern lights for stage lights. World-class thespians and award-winning performances fill the marquee at Anchorage venues. Unwind at one of the friendly pubs, clubs or hot spots drawing locals and visitors alike. As Alaska’s cultural epicenter, the city is a showcase for music from classical masterworks to up-and-coming garage bands. Stay out late. Don’t forget to check out annual events that have become Alaska traditions, from Fur Rondy to the Alaska State Fair. Where will you be when the lights go down – in the balcony, on the dance floor or part of the action? Whatever the decision, entertainment takes center stage.

From French to Thai and Greek to Korean, Anchorage sizzles with international flavors and local favorites to satisfy any craving. Alaska seafood often takes pride of place; the only way to get it fresher is to grab a reel and head for the water.

A cup of joe, a bite on the go, a sun-soaked lunch or a world-class meal await. Sip a local brew on an outdoor deck or try spirits direct from an Alaska distillery. Saved some room? Satisfy that sweet tooth with an artisan chocolate, a fresh-baked cupcake or a slice of homemade pie.

Alaska is one-fifth the size of the contiguous lower 48 states. With majestic vistas and a life’s worth of adventures spread across such a vast state, Alaskans have figured out how to get to the best spots quickly and comfortably. In many cases, the journey itself is the experience of a lifetime. Get behind the wheel of a car or RV and strike out on an adventure. Spot Dall sheep and beluga whales from the Seward Highway. Circle awe-inspiring Mount McKinley in a bush plane, wind through glacial valleys and over breathtaking bridges on the Alaska Railroad, float through icy fjords and sail pristine waters with the Alaska Marine Highway. Alaska’s experienced drivers, pilots, conductors and captains know the way, so hop aboard!

From scheduled transportation to custom options, find the mode that’s right for you.
