8 Hidden Gems To Discover in Anchorage, Alaska

No trip to Alaska is complete without experiencing the northern lights, but did you know there are plenty of excellent viewing locations within a few miles of downtown Anchorage?

The aurora borealis is a colorful and awe-inspiring natural light display that illuminates the sky with brilliant swirling tones. In Anchorage, the best time to see the northern lights is from mid-August through April, but this season is particularly special, as it's anticipated to be a solar maximum — a period that occurs once every 11 years, in which the aurora appears particularly vibrant. If you're looking for a prime viewpoint, drive about 25 minutes from downtown to the Glen Alps Overlook. This 2,200-foot peak can be accessed by easy-to-walk trails and provides some of the best views anywhere in the city, without any light pollution.
