Things to do around Anchorage from Sep 28 to Oct 8:
Marriott Bonvoy Proposed Activities in Anchorage
Coastal Trail The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail follows the shore of Cook Inlet from Downtown Anchorage to Kincaid Park. Running along coastal marshes, over forested hills, and passing one of the most dramatically altered landscapes of Anchorage, the trail is perfect for biking, walking, and even wildlife viewing. It’s not unusual to pass eagles or moose along the way.
The paved path runs 11 miles, and bike rentals are an inexpensive, easy way to explore every stretch. Leaving downtown, the trail hugs the coast, with great views of Dghelishla, the mountain otherwise known as Sleeping Lady, or Mount Susitna. On clear days, Denali and nearby Mount Foraker loom on the horizon.
The trail crosses the site of some of the worst damage from the 1964 earthquake. Earthquake Park, Point Woronzof, and many trailside benches and parks offer great views and convenient rest points on the trip further south.
Girdwood is “One of the 10 Most Beautiful Towns in Alaska” and located just 25 miles south of Anchorage. It is a very active community offering biking, skiing, rafting, fishing, hiking, gold panning and sightseeing in a beautiful, northern rainforest setting. Glacier Valley is home to Alaska’s only major ski resort, Alyeska Resort. Girdwood is an excellent base camp for all your activities in Southcentral Alaska. It is less than 10 miles from Prince William Sound and only 60 miles from the world-famous Kenai River.
Kenai Fjords National Park is just outside the town of Seward in south-central Alaska, 126 miles south of Anchorage. The park is open year-round. The primary months to visit are June, July, and August. There are reduced services in the area during the months of May and September. The road to the Exit Glacier area is not plowed during the winter months, and is closed to vehicle traffic once it is covered in snow and ice. The park's coastal backcountry in also largely inaccessible late fall through the early spring due to rough seas.
Alaska Museum is only open Thursday to Saturday, which do not fall under our meeting dates but consider it if you are extending your visit in Anchorage.
