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.

Seymour's Tip of the Month

Fit in some family fun before the kids head back to school. Check out a local race or sporting event, visit an area museum or attraction or have a picnic in a city park (did you know Anchorage has more than 120 parks?). Rain or shine, it’s family time!
