Anchorage, Alaska Tours and Whale Watching Charters

To a first, time tourist, Anchorage comes as a pleasant surprise with its sprawling, urban center, and commercial establishments. Visitors coming from the mainland US would find similarities in the Lower 48 states upon seeing its huge airport, multiple-laned superhighways, and skyscrapers. Our short visit to this lovely city back in 2007 came as a surprise treat from a friend who was able to avail tickets for cheap flights to Anchorage. It was a treat, indeed. Our non-stop flight from Taipei was quite tiring but it was one memorable bonding activity for us.

From what I can remember, this city, being the state's largest, traces back its roots to 1915 to its tent camp days when the railroad was being built as a connection to the port of Seward on the Kenai Peninsula with the Interior. Over the years, a series of economic bonanzas have contributed to the city's growth. At present, over half the state's population occupies the area. In 1964, the city was badly damaged by earthquake. What was left of it is the carefully preserved Earthquake Park, a stark reminder of the devastation.
