“From snow-covered peaks to icy bays, every turn felt like a postcard. One local pointed us to a hidden overlook and said, “Best place to feel small in the best way.” She was right.”
#4 Taste of the Tundra
Shared by Diego Garza – 31 ❤️
“Anchorage felt like a frontier town with a heartbeat—where locals greet you like old friends, and nature waits right outside your window. We met trailblazers, brewers, mushers, and dreamers. Every story was wrapped in snow-dusted wonder.”
#3 Knowles Trail
Shared by Orion – 49 ❤️
“We met Tony halfway down the coastal trail, bundled in flannel and biking like the weather didn’t exist. “Moose crossing ahead,” he warned with a grin, then sped off. Local legend, we’re convinced.”
#2 Dogsledding
Shared by Faye C – 97 ❤️
“Some people dream of fast cars. We now dream of huskies. Our musher, Elise, introduced every dog by name—and personality. “This one’s the diva. That one’s the sweetheart. They’ll pull you into another world.””
#1 Turnagain Arm
Shared by Cameron Bell – 103 ❤️
“The road curved beside icy waters and steep cliffs, where we stopped to watch belugas swim beneath a burning orange sky. “Sometimes,” said a fisherman we met at a pull-off, “the silence is the best part.””
