With a picnic shelter, four tennis courts for public use, a playground and walking trails, this is a small and lovely wooded park offering a great place to relax while your kids play. This park is named for one of the founding fathers of Anchorage who was instrumental in bringing the Teamster's Union, fresh produce grocery stores and more to Alaska. The Carr family owns many businesses within the city and generously contributed this parcel of land and the finances to develop this park in the memory of "Pop".
Often used as a photogenic vantage point from atop a high bluff, this geographic wonder is a terrific place to watch the lights twinkle in the city. Here, you can catch the aurora borealis when it's dark or the northwest views of Mt. Susitna (also known as the Sleeping Lady) during daylight hours. Also in the northwest distance is the Alaskan Range with Mt. McKinley and Mt. Foraker standing out in clear skies. This is a no fee area.
The Phillips Cruises and Tours in the city of Anchorage is a cruise and tour company that offers the 26-Glacier tour to Prince William Sound. The sound is located off the Gulf of Alaska on the southern coast and the cruise takes off from the port of Whittier, located 60 miles to the south-east. The four and a half hour tour on the three-deck catamaran would take you through approximately 135 mile into the sound covering all the glaciers on the route. The company also arranges for round-trip between Anchorage and Whittier, in case you don't want to travel in your own car.
