The state of Alaska is our nation's last great frontier. Known for its natural beauty, abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes, a trip to Alaska is certain to excite all travelers. Anchorage, Alaska is the state's largest city and full of fun areas to explore. No matter how adventurous you're feeling, Anchorage offers a variety of ways to explore this great state. Stay in a 4 star hotel and enjoy Anchorage's flourishing arts scene -- or rough it like the original settlers and enjoy the outdoor activities offered in and around the city.
With so many things to do, EscapeWizard.com invites you to see Anchorage, Alaska for yourself. Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC) is located just a couple miles south of downtown. Book your flight today with EscapeWizard.com: To do so, please follow the link to make flight arrangements (www.escapewizard.com/flight.php). And, when booking your hotel with EscapeWizard.com, please refer to our top selections of hotels in the Anchorage area for assistance with finding accommodations. Then book through EscapeWizard.com by following the link to the hotel portion of our website (www.escapewizard.com/hotels.php?flag=htl).
Anchorage has a unique heritage. This city tells the story of the young state's establishment. EscapeWizard.com suggests learning about this unique town at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center. Understanding the history of the landscape will enrich your visit. Discovered in the 1700's, the area was a trading hub for Russians. In the early 1900's the Alaska railroad was built. With the establishment of the railroad, the population swelled. When Alaska became a state in 1959, Anchorage was well established. The 80's saw a surge in growth with the discovery of oil in Prudhoe Bay. This helped revive the economy from the tragedy of an epic earthquake in 1964 and put the city back on track for growth. The museum tells the stories of the people that lived through Anchorage's tragedies and triumphs.
If you're traveling with children, EscapeWizard.com recommends visiting the Natural Museum. Alaska is home to a variety of wildlife. Explore these creatures up close in the museum. See the skeleton of a bird or stand next to a stuffed black bear! The museum also has some items from the ice age -- including the skull of an ice age lion.
EscapeWizard.com recommends getting out and exploring Anchorage for yourself. Even the best stories in museums can't substitute for experience, and Alaska is a wonderful place to experience adventure. EscapeWizard.com invites you to visit Chugach State Park. The grand mountains serve as the beautiful backdrop that sits behind the metropolitan city of Anchorage, and include Sleeping Lady Mountain. Chugach State Park is the 3rd largest state park in the country, and offers every activity from skiing to wildlife viewing.
If you visit Anchorage in the summer or early fall, you'll be greeted by a sea of flowers. This time of year, the city blossoms -- flowers are everywhere! Enjoy a walk in the Botanical garden, where plants present themselves along a walkway, or guess what design you'll find at the L Street Hillside Picture when you drive south on Minnesota Drive. Every year the flowers are planted in a unique display. For a taste of ultimate variety, visit the Mann Leiser Memorial Greenhouse which has 550 plants.
