Summer

Scratch an early bedtime off your “to-do” list and prepare to wake up early! With Alaska’s extended summer daylight hours, visitors to Anchorage can pack in a lot of adventure. Flightsee over vast, snow-covered mountains, reel in fresh Alaska king salmon, hike across a rainforest or get up close to a glacier. Solo or with a guide, there’s plenty to see and do in and around Anchorage.
