Carr-Gottstein Park
City park
👍👍 Holy Smokes!! I have lived in this City since 1998 and boy was this day remarkable. How did I miss this gem of a park. I almost don't even want to tell anyone about it. But.... there were several cars parked at the entrance (which is in the middle of a street between neighborhoods.... really gorgeo...

Kincaid Sand Dunes Park
City park
👍👍 The Kincaid Sand Dunes Park is a short walk from the parking lot. When making your way to this parking lot, if you’ve reached the parking lot for the moto cross park, you’ve gone too far. There are two different trail paths to descend upon from the correct parking lot. Make sure to take the path th...

👍👍 If you have a kayak, canoe, or a good pair of hiking boots you can reach Portage Glacier in an hour or two.

Downtown Anchorage Viewpoint
Scenic spot
👍👍 For every city I visited, I tried to see and take a photo of the city's skyline. This location is such a great spot and highlights not just the Anchorage city's view but the mountain ranges towering the buildings and as backdrops of the skyline itself. Such nice contrasts of nature and modern develo...

Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel
Tunnel
👍 This is a very unusual tunnel. It's around half a mile long. The strange thing is its duel use. Trains use the same road. Tracks run down the middle of the road. It is a single lane road so you have to wait for your turn to go through. There are traffic lights used to let you know when it's turn. Th...
