Five ways to spend two days exploring urban life and nature in Anchorage
I never realized how truly unique my home city was until I began to travel. Growing up, it was normal to reroute my way to school due to a moose along the path or to ski to the supermarket because our car couldn’t make it out of our snow-filled driveway.

Visitors to Anchorage can experience this closeness with nature and the quirky culture us locals enjoy with these five ways to make the most of your time in Anchorage.
