Anchorage, Alaska
EKLUTNA LAKE
A must see while in Anchorage. Breathtaking views. There’s a place to rent a kayak or bicycle right by the lake. Can Uber there but recommending Turo. About 45 minutes drive North from the hotel.
REFLECTIONS LAKE
Even if you’ve been to a reflection lake before - you must see this one. Worth the drive and the ~1 mile walk around the lake. About 30 minutes drive North from the hotel. Free.
FLATTOP MOUNTAIN
About 25 minutes drive South of Anchorage. You can go for a short 5 minutes hike to see beautiful views or an hour hike (uphill) to see even better views from the top.
ALYESKA SKI RESORT
To enjoy the views from the top of the mountain you will need to take the gondola ($45 per person). Beautiful views. About 45 minutes drive South of Anchorage.
PORTAGE LAKE
About 1 hour South of Anchorage this beautiful jam is tucked away and surrounded by glorious mountains. You can take the ferry if you want to experience the Portage Glacier.
BYRON GLACIER
About 1 hour South of Anchorage. Due to warm weather, this Glacier is melting quite fast. If you happen to be in the area
HWY 1 South - SCENIC ROUTE
This 2 lanes road stretches over 50 miles of endless water and mountain views. You can take the train from Anchorage toward Seward but will not have the chance to stop for photos along the way. Rent a car.... it's worth it.
ALASKA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION CENTER
About an hour south to Anchorage you'll find this conservation center. This is the easiest way to see the Alaskan animals that you don't see in most other states.
TONY KNOWLES COASTAL TRAIL
About 20-25 minutes bike ride Southwest to downtown Anchorage.
Beautiful trails to walk and bike.
