ANCHORAGE
One of the world's most northern cities, Anchorage blends urban fun and natural wonders with unique Alaska style. You'll find great shops, restaurants and museums here. You'll also discover dozens of parks, 100+ miles of bike paths and even salmon fishing — all within city limits.
SEWARD
Framed by jagged mountains and Resurrection Bay, Seward is the gateway to Kenai Fjords National
Park. It's a picture-perfect spot for exploring: take a day cruise or kayak trip, hike to the Harding Icefield, or stay in town for the Alaska SeaLife Center and seafood.
HOMER
Eclectic Homer is famous for halibut fishing and the Spit — a strip of land jutting into Kachemak Bay and bustling with galleries, shops and restaurants.
Adventure options abound, or take a water taxi to waterfront communities like Halibut Cove and Seldovia to watch the world go by.
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
The protected 10,000 square miles of the Prince William Sound area are easily accessed from Whittier, Valdez and Cordova. Water cruises of the Sound are famous for their coastal Alaska views, including tidewater glaciers and fjords flowing into the ocean, and for first-rate animal sightings.
TALKEETNA
Experience artsy charm in Talkeetna. This pretty town is a launch point for sightseers and mountain climbers heading to the Great One (aka Denali). But it wins travelers' hearts with
its turn-of-the-century Alaska style — log cabins, western storefronts and only one paved street around.
