Alaska - Anchorage & Around (Chapter)
This is the Anchorage & Around chapter from Lonely Planet’s Alaska guidebook.
A big city in the wilderness, Anchorage mixes hiking trails and traffic jams, small art galleries and Big Oil. Over 100 miles of city trails meander through hidden greenbelts and a creek splits downtown where anglers line up to catch trophy salmon. The wilderness is never far (behind the municipality is Chugach, the nation’s third-largest state park), which is why Anchorage’s young population (the average age is 32) is an active one.
