We love Anchorage and delight in sharing our city and its history with you and your groups. Our tour integrates Anchorage’s major landmarks with each of Anchorage and Alaska’s economic boom’s from the turn of the century until today including: the gold rush, the railroad, the military, the oil industry, aviation and more.

• Ship Creek: Ship Creek is the birth place of Anchorage and best known as our downtown "fishing hole." It is the second most widely fished river in the state (after the Russian River). Combat fishing is common here with angler's standing shoulder to shoulder down the banks. We often see anglers landing one of our giant salmon (this river boasts Reds, Kings and Silvers at different times throughout the summer) or even a fresh water trout or Dolly Varden.
• Iditarod Fun and Historic Buildings: The Iditarod is a 1,100 mile dog-sled race that starts in the heart of downtown Anchorage. The "Fur Rondy" World Champion sprint dog-sled races also start here. The Statue of Balto, a famous sled dog, marks the starting point.
• Earthquake Park and Point Woronzof: Once an upscale neighborhood, this park was the site of the worst of the damage left by the Earthquake of '64. Point Woronzof gives a great view of the Anchorage skyline over the Cook Inlet.
• Lake Hood: Airplanes and Alaska go together like peanut butter and jelly. Lake Hood is the most active seaplane base in the world with a 16 year waiting list to get one of the coveted 414 floatplane slips on the water.

We do recommend adding on an optional stop such as the Museum of History and Art or The Alaska Native Heritage Center which both are excellent. They both portray the rich history of the Alaska native people. We can also help you find off-the-beaten-path stops to offer a different view of our eclectic city.

The Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau is an excellent resource for you. Their website address is: www.anchorage.net
