What is Anchorage, AK Known for?
If you're considering moving to Anchorage, you might be wondering what the culture is like in town and whether the things that it's known for match your interests. Read on below to find out what Anchorage is most known for.
What Anchorage is Known For
Anchorage is mostly known for the outdoors. Given that a majority of the year here is spent in the cold, however, winter sports are very popular. The most popular of which by far is the annual Iditarod dog sled race. Anchorage is also one of the best places to view spectacular ice sculptures and wildlife. While some of the wildlife like moose and bear may seek food and attention in town, it is never safe to get too close to them. Viewing the glaciers are also very popular, with Portage Glacier being the most famous. But perhaps the most wonderous fame to claim of Anchorage is the Aurora Borealis (also known as the "Northern Lights").
