Anchorage
- A City Like No Other by David Dutton
 This
area is one with some very rugged outdoor country. Anchorage is a surprise
for visitors. The countryside is so diverse that there are many things
to see in just a few miles. From mountains and glaciers to the wildlife
that lives here, the modern city is in complete contrast. The outdoors
however, takes the lead hands down when it comes to exploring.
Hunting, fishing, hiking
and camping will be just a few of the outdoor adventures in Anchorage,
Alaska. The must-see aspect of Anchorage includes museums, botanical gardens,
the Anchorage Zoo and Earthquake Park. There are historical buildings in
the downtown area of Anchorage. This is a pleasure for those who are interested
in architecture. The zoo features many types of animals. There are seals,
bears and foxes just to name a few. The animals have lived here for many
years and you may see a few when on your hiking trips.
Finding a place to stay is
just as diverse as the outdoors. There are choices from cabins where you
can rough it just like the first settlers here did. Camping in a tent is
another option. If this is not your idea of the kind of place you would
choose, there are many hotels that are known for their high-end accommodations.
When traveling to Anchorage,
make sure and bring warm clothes. It can be quite cold at certain times
of the year. Visit the theaters, enjoy the countryside and when you leave
you will be thinking about the next trip you are going to make to Anchorage.
