ANCHORAGE
300C FEATURE DESTINATION: Anchorage, Alaska
Wedged between the two arms of Cook Inlet and the imposing Chugach Mountains, ANCHORAGE is home to over forty percent of Alaska’s population, and serves as the transportation center for the whole state. This sprawling city on the edge of one of the world’s great wildernesses often gets a bad press from those who live elsewhere in Alaska – derided as being “just half an hour from Alaska” – but it has its attractions, and with its beautiful setting can make a pleasant one- or two-day stopover.
