Morning

Paddle and pedal with your partner at stunning Eklutna Lake, in the midst of the towering Chugach Mountains. Kayak through miles of water and have a bike waiting for the return trip, or stick closer to downtown Anchorage, rent a bike and pedal down the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail to Kincaid Park – home to its own network of serene, secluded trails. This route offers breathtaking views and a chance to meet resident moose.

Afternoon

Enjoy a massage for two by candlelight. Relax and unwind with a couple's massage at a local day spa. Therapeutic treatments include hot stone massage, holistic body treatments, and pedicures, manicures, and facials in the most tranquil atmospheres.

Evening

With close to 100 languages spoken in Anchorage, this cosmopolitan city fuses world cuisines with a frontier twist. Restaurants and markets take full advantage of the abundance of seasonal fresh herbs, monster vegetables, and wild Alaska seafood.
