Things To Do
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
Ian and Shannon frequently go to AWWC, and cannot recommend it enough for folks who want to see all sorts of Alaskan wildlife (safely).
Denali National Park and Preserve
Interested in seeing the tallest peak in North America? Then head up to Denali National Park. It is about a 4-hour drive, but there is plenty to see and experience along the way!
Anchorage Museum
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Dog Sledding Tours
There are a bunch of different companies that offer dog sledding tours and experiences. There may not be snow on the ground, but they will still show you a great time!
Matanuska Glacier
Alyeska Resort
This ski-lodge is great for a scenic view of the Turnagain Arm. You can't go skiing, but you can take the lift up and get a great view! They also have a Nordic Spa, if you want to pamper yourself!
The Alaska Railroad
The train runs to Seward and back, or to Denali and back. Tickets sell FAST, so if you are interested in booking a train ride? Make sure to hop on it!
Kincaid Park
Tony Knowles Coastal Trail
Ian and Shannon had a date (very early in the relationship) that involved renting bikes and riding the 13-mile trail! There are plenty of bike shops, should you be interested in renting and riding the trail.
Plane or Helicopter Tours
There are TONS of companies that offer a variety of plane and/or helicopter tours. They will go to a lot of different places, and can range in duration!
