Embraced by six mountain ranges and warmed by a maritime climate, Anchorage is alive year-round with adventure, recreation, seasonal festivities, sporting events and more. Within a short drive from downtown are dozens of wilderness adventures, and within an even shorter plane ride, almost any type of adventure is possible. During summer, the days seem endless. Dazzling displays of flowers adorn homes and storefronts, live music fills the air, and the salmon-rich waters of Cook Inlet create a stunning backdrop. Throughout winter, Anchorage is a sparkling wonderland. Thousands of lights glisten downtown and the excitement of many activities, such as Nordic ski trails, dog sledding, snowmobiling and skating rinks, energize the entire city. Anchorage is a place where visitors can stay put for a while or never leave at all.
