Day 1 On the Right Foot
-
Morning
Take a self-guided trip through the galaxy. Start at a 12-foot diameter model of the sun that is the downtown launching pad for the Anchorage Light Speed Planet Walk (designed by a local high school student) and continue on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail for a walking tour - to light speed scale - of the solar system with interpretive signs ending 11 miles away at Kincaid Park.
-
Afternoon
Soak up some sun on an outdoor patio downtown. Several Anchorage restaurants pair outdoor dining with a fantastic menu and views of Sleeping Lady, Mount Susitna that can’t be beat. Want to stick to the sidewalk? Grab a brat or hot dog from one of the vendors and eat it al fresco!
-
Evening
Find out more about the city’s spooky side. Ghost Tours of Anchorage gives guests a 90-minute tour of some of Anchorage's ghostly sightings and most haunted places. Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, history comes alive as host Rick Goodfellow tells tales of Anchorage’s past.
