7 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.

Your day by day itinerary now includes McHugh Creek Day Use Area. Bring the kids along to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Alaska Native Heritage Center. Step out of the city life by going to Tony Knowles Coastal Trail and Friends of Eagle River Nature. Go for a jaunt from Anchorage to Whittier to see Boat Tours & Water Sports about 1h 25 min away. There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, identify plant and animal life at Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary, stroll through Virgin Creek Falls Trail, and take in the awesome beauty at Alyeska Ski Area.
