There is something about Alaska that has always stirred the imagination. From the first migrants who crossed the Bering land bridge during the ice ages to todays travelers escaping the madness of city life, Alaska draws people from the world over to see its wonders: dramatic mountains and immense glaciers, rivers thick with salmon, northern lights dancing across a velvety winter sky.
First-time visitors quickly discover how vast the state is, and how difficult it is to see everything in a short period of time. Instead of trying to see it all, many choose to explore Southcentral Alaskafocusing on Anchorage, Denali, and the Kenai Peninsula. This is Alaska at its most accessible and diverse.
This guide is for those Alaska travelers who are looking for a way to kayak next to glaciers, fish for halibut, explore remote backcountry areas, and watch brown bears catching salmon, but who also enjoy a fine Anchorage restaurant, snowboarding at Alyeska Resort, or staying at a luxurious bed-and-breakfast. Spend an evening in Anchorage dining on king crab and sampling French wines, then the next day, take a one-hour floatplane ride to a cabin where the only sounds are singing loons and droning mosquitoes.

Anchorage is the natural focal point. The citys Ted Stevens International Airport has scheduled flights from a dozen U.S. cities, plus direct international flights from Frankfurt, Vancouver, Seoul, Reykjavik, and Vladivostok. Fly into Anchorage and use this city of 300,000 people as a base to explore surrounding areas, most notably Denali National Park to the north and the Kenai Peninsula to the south. All the major rental car companies have operations at the airport, and many people rent a car or RV to explore on their own. Buses serve the major towns, and the Alaska Railroad connects Anchorage with Seward, Talkeetna, Denali, Whittier, and Fairbanks.
Let this book open the doors to this truly unique, amazing, and beautiful part of Alaska. If you havent visited Alaska before, youre in for a treat. If you have, you will almost certainly want to return.

Anchorage is home to nearly half the states population, an international airport, and a multitude of cultural attractions. Especially notable are the Anchorage Museum, the largest museum in the state, and the Alaska Native Heritage Center. A paved trail skirts the citys shoreline, and great hiking is a short drive away within massive Chugach State Park. Spend Saturday or Sunday at the downtown Anchorage Market and Festival, where youll find hundreds of vendors selling everything from Native artwork to birch syrup.
Head south along Turnagain Arm, with its enormous tides and beluga whales, to Portage Glacier and the ski resort town of Girdwood.
North of Anchorage is the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, home to fast-growing Wasilla and Palmer. Beyond lies Hatcher Pass with its pretty alpine country and historic mine buildings.
Alaskas most loved national park, Denali National Park is 175 air miles north of Anchorage. The parks crowning jewel is 20,320-foot Mount Denali. A narrow dirt road open only to tour buses courses through the heart of Denali, providing opportunities to see caribou, brown bears, wolves, and other wildlife, plus amazing Alaska Range vistas. Hop on a shuttle bus for an all-day ride into the park: Its an 8-hour round-trip to Eielson Visitor Center, famous for its Mount Denali views. Or take the 11-hour round-trip to Wonder Lake and the old mining settlement of Kantishna.
