The Alaska Native Heritage Center is the first-ever
visitor attraction to share Alaska Native traditions See Video
through educational programs. Visitors enter the
Center through the Welcome House, which has
interpretative displays, a theater hosting a film
presentation and daily performances of traditional
Native dance troupes. A trail will introduce visitors
to Native Tradition Bearers, artists and performers as
they tour five village exhibits surrounding a lake on
the 26-acre campus.
At Crow Creek Mine, visitors can pan for gold as
miners did nearly one hundred years earlier, or hike
part of the famous Iditarod Trail, which linked the
port town of Seward with interior towns and villages
before the advent of rail and roads.
Alaska is renowned for its outdoor life, replete
with cool, clear air, breathtaking scenery, and
accessible wilderness. Anchorage’s many top-notch
outdoor facilities are just minutes from first-class
downtown amenities, so it’s easy to explore the

in your hotel room or a top-quality restaurant in the
evening.
Seasonal activities include wildlife photography,
hiking and climbing, horseback riding, fishing,
hunting, target shooting, boating, rafting, biking,
camping, golfing, tennis, dog sledding, ice skating,
skiing, and snowmobiling.
For Nordic skiing enthusiasts, Anchorage is
among the top competitive venues in the world,
having hosted U.S. Olympic trials for cross country
and biathlon competitions. More than 150 parks
