Things To Do
Thunderbird Falls
Hiking is one of our favorite things to do in the summer. This hike is an easy 1.8mi out and back to a stunning waterfall.
Seward
If you want to see some cool wildlife, Seward will not disappoint! I went on a Major Marine whale watching tour, and it remains one of the best days of my life.
Kenai Lake
Kayaking on Kenai Lake was one of my favorite activities last summer! Kayak rentals are available in Cooper Landing (adjacent to Kenai Lake).
Matanuska Glacier
We went here with both our families and it was a highlight for everyone.
Whittier
If it's glaciers you want to see, locals recommend the 26 Glacier Tour out of Whittier.
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
Another great place to see some Alaska wildlife!
Reindeer Farm
Another great place if you want to see some animals!
Alyeska Nordic Spa
For those seeking a more relaxing approach to vacation, this is the place for you.
Denali National Park and Preserve
Denali is the tallest mountain in North America at 20,310ft. We have yet to visit, but it's a bucket list item! *located about 6 hours north of Anchorage*
