Things to do in Anchorage, Alaska (AK): The Best Transportation

September 17, 2021 Myesha Cogley

Set amid the coastal Chugach Mountains, Anchorage defies popular visions of polar ice caps and frozen tundra. It’s also warmer than you think (averaging 65 degrees in summer), making conditions ideal for sight-seeing or taking on uniquely Alaskan opportunities like arctic biking or touring the fjords of Prince William Sound. In the winter, you can ski, dogsled or do both simultaneously by "skijoring," which is cross-country skiing while being towed by a dog. Hey, it's no crazier a winter sport than the biathlon.

Awesome Must Do - Took the Alaska Train from Anchorage to Seward. Train only goes about 30mph so you can see everything. When something special comes up....Moose, Eagles, Landmarks, Glaciers...the train slows and the on-board guide tells you where to look and what it is. VERY COOL. We saw Beautiful scenery, Glaciers, Waterfalls, Eagles, Dall Sheep, Beluga Whales and much more.
