What sights/tourist activities are available in Anchorage, Alaska and the surrounding area in October?
My dad and I are traveling up to Anchorage this weekend and are looking for some things to do. We’re planning on visiting Chugach State Park to do some hiking, but we’re wondering if anything else is open? Any fishing tours, cruises or other fun things to see and experience?
Most cruises here end early September. If you’re into hiking, there’s a lot to see at Chugach State Park. There, you’ll find Flat top which is Alaska’s most visited peak. Once you get to the top, there’s a view that you’ll surely enjoy. (http://alaska.org/anchorage/parks-and-trails.jsp) There are museums downtown as well where you can learn about the history and wildlife. I can’t really think of anything for the month of October. If you visit again, be sure to come during the summer. You can go whitewater rafting at Six Mile Creek, which is VERY adventurous and exhilarating!
Go to this website–it’s a much better source than I am!
