Then, head up to Denali National Park and be sure to stop into the charming little town of Talkeetna.
I’ve had the opportunity to visit Alaska twice and was really impressed by how quickly you can access the great outdoors right in the city of Anchorage. One of my favorite hikes starting downtown was the Coastal Trail in Elderberry Park  My first stop outside of Anchorage was the town of Girdwood, home to Alyeska Ski Resort. I continued down the Kenai Peninsula where you have the towns of Seward and Homer, Kachemak Bay State Park, and of course Kenai Fjords National Park. Then, head up to Denali National Park and be sure to stop into the charming little town of Talkeetna. Alaska is full of charming little lodges, so be sure to stay local whenever possible! ‍
