Alaska's largest museum tells the story of Alaska and the North. It is a multifaceted story that weaves together social, political, cultural, scientific, historic and artistic threads
The Chugach Range is the closest wilderness area, with access points a short drive from anywhere in the city. Find a piece of this 9,000-square-mile mountain range to call your own for the day. Take a hike, raft the rapids, or just sit in the forest in peace.
From their website, "Two tour companies have merged giving you a genuine, one of a kind, 3 hour tour. Girdwood Mushing Company and Gold Mine Safari Tours have created a unique way to show you Alaska at its best. It’s like having two truly unforgettable tours in one!"
Summer activities include a tramway, hiking, sea kayaking, the SeaLife Center, and flight seeing tours.
