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.

Escape the urban bustle at Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Chugach State Park. When in Anchorage, make a side trip to see Independence Mine State Historical Park in Palmer, approximately Palmer away. And it doesn't end there: get to know the fascinating history of Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, examine the collection at Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, trek along Flattop Mountain Trail, and identify plant and animal life at Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary.
