Anchorage with a population of 285,000 is the largest city in Alaska . The City is a major port, a railroad hub, and the world’s third busiest cargo airport.

The air is clean, the water is clean, and the mountains are breathtaking and beautiful. Alaska is a pristine and vast outdoor paradise. For the sportsman and hobbyist there is fabulous fishing, hunting, trekking, biking on more than 70 miles of trails, Alpine skiing, mt. climbing, hockey, golf, softball, outdoor photography, kayaking and more. The local arts community offers an orchestra, choir, museums, theater groups, and visiting artists and performers. Anchorage has shopping malls, boutiques, local Native craft and clothing stores, and a large number of excellent restaurants.
Anchorage is protected by the Chugach Mountains and warmed by Japanese currents of the Pacific Ocean. The climate is actually quite mild year-round. Spring through fall, Anchorage's climate is similar to San Francisco's spring weather, with temperatures that can reach into the 70's. Summer highs average 65 degrees. Winters bring on the snow with high temperatures dipping into the 20s, creating a climate very much like ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, Canada or Europe.
