Eagle River Nature Center
This place is about a 1 hour drive from Anchorage and has many hiking trails, viewing decks and lots of wildlife. Perfect for the afternoon outing. Moose, Bears and many birds can often be seen here. The walk is easy to medium depending on the trail you take and takes you to amazing mountain views.
Eklutna Lake
About 1 hour from Anchorage, this is another great afternoon outing spot. Eklutna Lake offers camping, hiking and 4 wheeling trails as well as horseback trails. Again, you are surrounded by breath taking views and a peaceful setting.
Mendenhall Glacier
See a glacier up close! Visit Juneau and see the Mendenhall Glacier. You can trek through this magnificent glacier and see the glacier blue walls. While there are tours offered, you can also hike there. This outdoor adventure is worth the travel.
Seward Alaska
Seward offers a large variety of activities even for the locals. Many find this place to be a fishing hot spot every summer. There is also the Sealife Center and lots of great camping locations. The drive from Anchorage is beautiful with breath taking views. Seward also has Exit Glacier which you can hike to view up close.
