Alyeska Resort
#skitrip Kicking off my first (and only!) ski sesh of the year at Alyeska Resort — and OMG, what a vibe! The mountain views are absolutely unreal 🤯, with road signs pointing the way to killer ski trails and snow-capped scenery that’ll light up your Instagram. Let’s get into the deets you need for an awesome Aloyeska getaway: 1️⃣ **Hotel Perks:** Alyeska Resort offers a crazy cool “aurora wake-up call” service, so you don’t miss the Northern Lights. I signed up for it, but honestly ended up climbing out of bed myself because I was hyped 😂. When the aurora explodes, you can even spot those glowing clouds right from Anchorage! **Address:** Alyeska Resort, 1000 Arlberg Ave, Girdwood, AK 99587 **Open:** All year for lodging; ski season runs November–April 2️⃣ **Stay Smarter, Get Perks:** If you chill at the hotel for more than two nights and skip room service, you score a $5 daily Groupon (grab it at checkout!). They call it P10 — little flex for the thrifty explorers. 3️⃣ **Dining Vibes at Seven Glaciers:** This fine-dining spot is literally at the top of the mountain. Book ahead if you wanna go bougie for a night (reservations required!), but TBH, the food is just ‘meh’. The views, though? Pure chef’s kiss 👌. 4️⃣ **Getting There:** Hopping from Anchorage to Alyeska is easy-peasy by taxi. Going back is trickier — you’ll need the hotel front desk to hook you up with a Yellow Cab. 5️⃣ **Gear Up at Powder Hound:** The demo ski setup here is clutch (just $75/day) and their boot fitting game is top-tier. Cop a pair of their boots and boom — you get a free demo ski day! Plus, they’ve got ski-in/ski-out apartments to rent if that’s your vibe. **Address:** Powder Hound Ski Shop, 194 Olympic Mountain Loop, Girdwood, AK 99587 **Slope Scene:** - The Sea View Trail is insanely pretty, and you basically never have to wait in line. - Ski-in/ski-out access makes everything sooo convenient. - For blue trail fans who aren’t afraid of heights, there’s a bunch of options to test your skills. - Pro tip: locals say the snow’s thinner this year, so lower mountain = icy, but upper mountain = primo powder! - Glacier Bowl trails? Epic views but SO CLOSE to the cliff’s edge — not for the faint of heart 😱. The advanced skiers zip by mega fast, which makes it even more intense! All in all, Alyeska Resort is the place for stunning slopes, insane views, and some chill extras that make your snow trip next-level. And hey, chasing the Northern Lights from your hotel window? Yes please 🙌!
Tony Knowles Coastal Trail
#postandearn #attractive For a perfect mix of outdoor activity and breathtaking scenery, the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail in Anchorage is a must-visit. Stretching 11 miles along the Cook Inlet, this trail offers walkers, cyclists, and runners a stunning route with mountain views, wildlife, and ocean vistas. During my visit, I biked along the trail, passing eagles perched along the coastline, moose grazing nearby, and the majestic Chugach Mountains in the background. The trail also provides multiple lookout points for watching sunsets over the Cook Inlet—an unforgettable experience. ✨ What I loved most: Stopping at one of the many viewpoints to watch the tide roll in while snow-capped peaks framed the horizon—it felt peaceful and invigorating at the same time. Practical tips: Best time to visit: May to September for accessible trails and milder weather. Trail access points are available from downtown Anchorage and several park areas. Bring water, snacks, and layers, as weather can change quickly. Bikes can be rented nearby if you don’t bring your own.

It’s a paradise for hikers, skiers, climbers, and nature lovers seeking both adventure and breathtaking scenery. During my visit, I explored the park’s extensive trail network, hiking through alpine meadows and dense forests. The Eklutna Lake and Flattop Mountain trails offered panoramic views of Anchorage, Cook Inlet, and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. Wildlife sightings included moose, bears, eagles, and mountain goats, making each hike a thrilling encounter with Alaskan nature. ✨ What I loved most: Reaching the summit of Flattop Mountain at sunrise—the city below bathed in golden light while the rugged wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see. Practical tips: Best time to visit: May to September for hiking and wildlife spotting; November to March for snow sports. Wear sturdy shoes and bring layers, as weather can change rapidly in the mountains. Carry water, snacks, and bear spray if venturing into remote areas.

The History Galleries offered a fascinating look into Alaska’s past, from native cultures to the Gold Rush era. I particularly enjoyed the Science Galleries, which highlighted the state’s unique ecosystems, wildlife, and Arctic environment. ✨ What I loved most: The interactive exhibits, which made learning about Alaska’s natural and cultural history both fun and engaging.

Anchorage
The sound of rain You must be here Time to breathe In the sound of that light chasing the wind Longing hides in the moonlight Becomes a mournful weeping evening primrose The seagull's cry, obscured by the sunset, is even more sorrowful Summer is preparing to depart The colors of the new season seep first through my toes What hurts hurts Green leaves, stripped of their leaves Dance in the sky with bitter tears Today, as the red autumn rain falls Crying over the frame of time Will I be able to stay there? Before you leave No, before autumn comes The sound of light is being pushed into summer, leaving only traces. ★The photo evokes old memories of an Alaskan cruise Should I spend it with summer? (June 2024) #OverseasTravel #Alaska
