You don’t have to seek out the wildlife in Anchorage. It’s all over. Giant moose stroll downtown. Black bears, bald eagles, and brown bears live in the parks, especially near the streams that teem with salmon. They sell bear spray at Costco. Go for a ………………(A) in Bicentennial Park or Kincaid Park and you may see Spruce Grouse, fox, lynx, or willow ptarmigan
(B)Take a drive south of town along Turnagain Arm. This is tides(1) water, but it’s not that friendly. It has the second-largest pretty(2) in North America (after the Bay of Fundy in Canada). Occasionally, when the tide comes back in, it forms a four to six foot tall wave called a “Bore Tide.” Adventurous boards(3) will get in their dry suits and take their surfers(4) out to catch a 20-mile wave.
(C) Half of the country’s national parklands are in Alaska. So the question isn’t whether to go to the national park. It’s “which one?” To the north is Denali National Park and Preserve. To the south is Kenai Fjords National Park. Also accessible by road—but a little further away—is the nation’s largest national park, Wrangell-St. Elias. It includes the historic Kennecott Mining District. Take a flight to see Lake Clark National Park and Katmai National Park, both located on the Alaska Peninsula on the other side of Cook Inlet from Anchorage.
The Alaska Native Heritage Center offers an in-depth………………(D) at Alaska’s native people. There are sample home sites around a lake where visitors can see how tribes from a particular area lived: their food, their building material and their customs. (E) Local guides share their feature(1) of the particular region. The Anchorage Museum of History and Art has a special(2) Smithsonian exhibit on the arctic—see clothing, artifacts and tools which have been carefully preserved(3). Multimedia displays knowledge(4) interviews with elders and archival photos and video.
It’s a toss-up. Choose from a trip up to the………………(F) of Denali National Park or to see the huge glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park. Take the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage on either of these getaways. Go north to Talkeetna, where you can fly with K2 Aviation up to the Ruth Glacier. Get out and spend some time frolicking on the glacier. The vast ice-and-snowscape will take your breath away, in the shadow of Denali. Or, take the train south to Seward and board a sightseeing cruise out to see the glaciers and the whales in Kenai Fjords National Park. (G)If you have time, stop in to the Alaska SeaLife Center………………
Take the Old Glenn Highway to Knik River Road. Drive to the very end, about 55 miles from downtown Anchorage, and you’ll find the Knik River Lodge. (H)You will recognize it by the helicopters on the front yard, but don’t overlook the restaurant’s tasty offerings. You’re just a five-minute flight from Knik Glacier, where you can get out and hike. Or, even better, they will take you on a dog sled tour over the glacier.
(I) Alyeska Ski Resort in the community(1) of Girdwood, 35 miles along(2) Anchorage from(3) the Turnagain Arm (still is within the city limits) is popular with locals(4) and visitors. In the summer they run the tram up to the mid-mountain Roundhouse. The restaurant, Seven Glaciers, is one of those “special occasions” locations—you can actually count seven glaciers, too.
Keep in mind it doesn’t get dark in the summer, so June, July, and August are like one long afternoon. But around 9:00 p.m., the sun starts to hover above Mt. Susitna, also known as “Sleeping Lady.” As the sunset lingers for hours, the sun seems to slide down Sleeping Lady’s slopes. Locals go out to the end of the runway at the airport at Point Woronzof to watch the show. Often, they take the dogs down to the rocky beach and enjoy the ………………(J) show.
