They just have to put with AK's eccentricities. Half the people in the state live within the city limits of Anchorage. In the book "Coming into the Country" John McPhee, wrote something like...Anchorage is not a great town, but it has the best out-of-town any town ever had. It's ten ...

Occasionally Dall sheep come down to the highway but more often they're visible partway up a rocky mountain slope. <br><br>Motorists can pull off the highway to enjoy the view at several turnoffs along the ...

... maybe the lunch as described on the website might be a little on the light side but it turned out to be the perfect amount; a bagel with cream cheese, slice of cheddar cheese, an apple and cookie and choice of drinks. There are seats with tables at the front of the lower section and this worked out great to sit and eat by the window and not miss anything. The cruise took us into ...

... out to supply us with drinks and ice cream for our apple pie. We were still talking about it a week later when I decided it was time to get out and we all headed to the annual downtown Anchorage Block Party. The food didn't compare but the margaritas inspired us to take to the dance floor - or perhaps the dance street - and once again the clouds parted, the sun came out, and we twirled and gyrated with the best of Anchorage. What a work out we had. The ...

On our last day, back in Anchorage, we took a tour around the city,<br>rented a car and drove along the seward scenic hwy, visiting the Alaska<br>Wildlife Conservation Center. This is a wildlife refuge for the animals<br>native to alaska that for one reason or another cannot be returned to<br>the wild, so they make this their home. I have to say this ...

... However, the best achievement in Fairbanks overall was managing to hire a car for three days without needing a spare set of keys the whole time we had it! After Fairbanks we headed south on the Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park where we camped in a site at the edge of the park. The park itself is absolutely huge (more than 90 miles in length) and doesn't contain any trails so hiking involves hacking through bushes and trees and wading across ...
