Anchorage Alaska- Big Life Big Alaska-www.anchorage.net/tg
Anchorage Hub of Alaska: Surrounded by some of the most spectacular wilderness in the United States, Anchorage is a first-class destination, with all the amenities you've come to expect in any traditional meeting place.
Anchorage sits at the base of the Chugach Mountains along the coast of Cook Inlet and lies as far west as the Hawaiian Islands and as far north as Helsinki yet it boasts a mild climate. Four mountain ranges, (the Chugach, Alaska, Kenai and Talkeetna) and the warm Japanese Chugach current combine to create pleasant year-round temperatures. Spring through fall, Anchorage's climate is similar to San Francisco's spring weather; winter comparisons usually remind visitors of ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, Canada or Europe.
The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport serves as the primary port of entry into Alaska's largest city. With more than 300 flights either originating or terminating here each day, reaching Anchorage via air is both comfortable, convenient and time-efficient.
Visitors venturing to Anchorage can also drive from anywhere on the continent, any time of the year. The Alaska Highway, which links Alaska with Canada and the contiguous United States, is fully paved and offers services all year long. Another option is to take the Alaska Marine Highway to a nearby port such as Whittier, then take the highway or railway to Anchorage from there. See the Alaska Marine Highway section of this guide for more information or go to AlaskaFerry.com.
The parks system within Anchorage showcases some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Virtually every aspect of Anchorage's unique past is represented in the historic, cultural or natural themes of these accessible parks.
There are more than 180 miles of groomed trails in Anchorage, many of which are lighted, as well as hundreds of backcountry treks. The grand Chugach State Park embraces the south side of the Anchorage Bowl and offers backcountry access literally minutes from downtown. Kincaid Park is a cross-country skier's delight and one of only two courses certified for international competition in the United States. Hundreds of trails cross through wooded areas abundant with wildlife and vistas of the Alaska Range and Mt. Denali.
Often, flying is the only way to reach backcountry areas that offer an unforgettable experience in the pristine wilderness of Alaska. Flying is so popular in Alaska that 1 in 36 residents have a pilot's license and towns without a stop sign probably have a landing strip. Even the capital city of Juneau can only be accessed by water or plane.
There are many companies offering charter services for just a few hours or longer backcountry trips. From Anchorage, take a flight seeing trip to Denali National Park and circle majestic Mt. McKinley while looking down on fantastic flora and fauna below. A fly-in fishing trip is a popular way to experience an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime Alaskan thrill.

Day 28 - Eklutna Lake Paddle and Peddle with Lifetime Adventures - Alaska Road Trip

Route 1
USA - Alaska 2003
This is a video of our trip to Alaska where we enjoyed a scenic drive from Anchorage to Homer. We took the Alaskan Railway from Anchorage to Seward which is a tiny seaside village with a bustling harbor, quaint shops and galleries, and an abundance of alpine and marine adventures. From Seward, we embarked on a cruise to the Kenai Fjords where we saw glaciers calving. We took a scenic drive to Homer, Alaska's Halibut Fishing Capital. Homer has an eclectic mix of artists, fishermen and outdoor lovers drawn by its slow pace, rich fishing, bear viewing safaris and postcard beautiful setting on clear Kachemak Bay. We took a glacier & wildlife cruise and watched glaciers unleash house sized ice blocks into the ocean. We saw a lifetime's worth of marine mammals in a few hours, otters, harbor seals, orcas, seabird colonies and fjords galore. Our scenic train tour was a great way to view some of the most secluded and spectacular wilderness Alaska has to offer. We traversed braided rivers, skirted towering glaciers, viewed lofty peaks, glided over deep gorges and we spotted wildlife from our seats and outdoor viewing space.
The music we used in this video is Born Free by Roger Williams and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly by Hugo Montgomery.

As your president, I'm here to make sure that you get the support that you need.
President Obama's trip north centered on climate change. These are the last moments of his speech in Kotzebue. He left the crowd with a warning: When it comes to climate change, there is such a thing as 'being too late.' The effects can be irreversible if we don't act, he said. And that moment is almost here.

Eight days, three people, no trail, and only what we could carry on our backs. We shared the wilderness with Moose and bears, traversing over glaciers and mountains passes.
The adventure took place in Wrangell St. Elias National Park in the southeast corner of Alaska, right on the border with Canada. I'd never heard of this park before, but it's actually the largest in the United States - large enough to encapsulate six Yellostones. It's also home to the majority of the tallest mountain peaks in the US.
It was the experience of a lifetime. Come along on the adventure!
