Nestled between the ocean and snow-covered Chugach mountains, Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city, known for its fine dining, local craft breweries, theatres, golf courses, botanical gardens, and festivals. With a small-town feel, Anchorage is home to 120 miles of trail for running/biking/skiing and is a gateway to nearby mountains where you can explore glaciers, kayak, hike, fish, hunt, and enjoy many state parks. Alaska is a beautiful place to live and work. “The mountains are calling and I must go.” ~John Muir
