Anchorage defies popular visions of polar ice caps and ice-covered tundra. Between mountains and a bay, surrounded by national parks and filled with wildlife, Anchorage combines the best of Alaska in a city that has the comforts of home and the hospitality of the Last Frontier. It is ideal for sightseeing or taking on exceptional opportunities like arctic biking or touring the fjords of Prince William Sound. In the winter, you can ski, dogsled or do both simultaneously by cross-country skiing while being towed by a dog.
