The city of Anchorage has not deterred me as almost every city I've stepped foot in prior had. The clean streets and active community have been tugging at the typical "let's just stay here" conversation of a trip.
On Ship Creek you can fish for salmon... in the middle of the city. A casual 30 minute drive out to wilderness. It's different from most larger US cities I've been to.
The pride the state and it's residents seem to have when they make sure to separate themselves from the rest of us barbarians as they echo, "the lower 48" during conversation; and for good reason. AK is gorgeous whether in the city or wilderness.
This is our last day here in Alaska and it has been phenomenal. You can explore the state by land, air, and water and be blown away by any choice.
A recap of the last few days. We made our way back from Fairbanks in one 400ish mile road grind. We got a hotel for the last two nights and explored the city more so than a couple of weeks ago. Cross Northern Lights off the bucket list. Light in color but spanning across the sky, pulsing between visible and not, a wonderful sight.
