14 days in Anchorage Itinerary

Home to nearly half of Alaska's population, the port city of Anchorage covers a staggering area of over 4,900 sq km (1,900 sq mi) surrounded by mountains.

Venture out of the city with trips to Bearpaw River Brewing Company (in Wasilla), Whittier (Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel & Boat Tours & Water Sports) and Palmer (Reindeer Farm, Horseback Riding Tours, &more). Spend the 18th (Fri) on the rails with a train tour. There's much more to do: get to know the resident critters at Alaska Zoo, don't miss a visit to The Ulu Factory, examine the collection at Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, and hike along Kincaid Park.
