Anchorage: the Wild in our Midst “In every walk with nature, one receives more than he seeks.” – John Muir Preservationist John Muir would have received more than he could fathom in the forests that surround Anchorage, where opportunities to view Alaska’s beautiful wild flowers, peculiar plant life and amazing wildlife abound. As residents, we discover habitat hot spots all over the city; now, if only our Big Wild Life™ would arrive on cue for our guests! For guaranteed wildlife viewing in close proximity visit the Alaska Zoo, the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, Elmendorf State Hatchery and other locations that allow wildlife viewing in a safe, yet natural, setting.
