I live here. And you have to take the short drive to Girdwood it's only like 20 minutes south of Anchorage. Very beautiful little mountain town on the ocean with a ski resort and many great restaurants and cafes. One of a kind. Also if you guys like bars. Go to Kootz (chilkoot Charlie's) world famous many celebrities have been there. The beer in Alaska is on par with Washington or Oregon, many local small micro breweries. Coffee, beer, and seafood is a big thing here. Also try some of the Kaladis Brothers cafes around town for great ambience and good coffee. Also go to the Kobuk in downtown Anchorage it's an amazing local gift and art shop with a coffee shop inside. Glacier brew house is a great local restaurant with local foods and micro brewed beers as well as award winning chefs. Highly recommend. I 100% recommend 49th State brewery downtown it's 3 floors of micro brewery/ restaurant/ balcony overlooking the ocean, amazing food super creative menu unlike anywhere I've ever soon. A bunch of different local beers and drinks. And the inside is so cool looking. Also a must see for anyone visiting is a short drive up flat top mountain, you can see the whole city of Anchorage from up there. It's very beautiful. Also hiking some easy trails through the city is Campbell Creek trail system. I recommend the Campbell airstrip road part. Also check kincaid park out. It's amazing. In west Anchorage you have to check out lake hood for the float planes. It is the most trafficked small plane landing and taking off lake in the world. As well as point worinzoff you can see the ocean and the huge international freight and passenger planes landing and taking off right over your head. Also a short drive north to the suburb/mountain town of Eagle River is amazing. Very scenic lots of good restaurants there as well. It's only like 20 minutes north of Anchorage. Skyline drive is a drive up the mountains in eagle River. If you truly want an amazing nature drive through mountainous valleys unlike anywhere, also do the eagle River nature center drive. It's very close to Anchorage, and one word describes it. EPIC. i see bears, moose, and Lynx every time I drive it. One more thing close to town. Drive to Eklutna Lake, it's where Anchorage draws it's drinking water from it's a super beautiful natural glacier lake on the bottom of mountains. It's so natural looking it's like green almost. I hope you guys have an amazing honeymoon. Enjoy Anchorage, and Alaska the 49th State! Good luck guys I'm sure you'll have many memories and fun here.

Thank you so much, Kathyrn and Adam!!! 💗💗💗 Your Alaska series definitely got us SUPER excited as we counted down the days to our own trip! 🥰

You should see more of Alaska through the locals eyes - take up ATV guides that go through the trails, rent a car and just drive the state and stop in local businesses. Explore the state and see the people we see every day.

Can't believe you both live in Alaska- what an epic state to call home! We were also thrilled by the cloudy weather. It allowed such amazing visibility on the glacier!!!

We can hardly believe it ourselves! 🤯 Hahaha so grateful to have such a kind and supportive community!!! 🥰

I 😩don't understand why my channel have less Subcribers

Thank you so much for watching! We certainly felt very fortunate to have been able to visit such a magical place!!! 💗💗💗

Imagine seeing a baby moose just chillin' in your yard like a random squirrel. 😮‍💨

Thank you so much for watching!!! 💗

You're very welcome! More power to your channel @@ChadandClaire!

Absolutely- it certainly carried a slightly eerie vibe, kind of like the Pacific Northwest! 👻 We loved being amongst the fog; it felt like we dove head first into spooky season! 😁

Thank you for your support towards what we do! So glad we're able to share our journey together with you! 💗

Indeed!!! Great views and fantastic food?! We certainly can't complain hahaha. We're huge fans of seafood, so we were very pleased with the many seafood options on the menu. We feel extremely grateful to have shared this adventure with our family- trips only get better when spent with loved ones! 💗

Thank you so much for watching! Alaska is home is such a breadth of wildlife, and we're so grateful to have been able to see some of the native animals up close! Wisconsin is one of the states we've been wanting to visit together. We want to taste that famous Wisconsin frozen custard!!! 😁

@@ChadandClaire Thank you for your interest in Wisconsin...we'd be happy to have you here. It's a pretty state...our custard is delicious..and our other foods, i.e. cheese curds are pretty good too. Any way I can help...let me know!

Truly a place unlike any other!!!

So am i

Thank you so much for waiting and for watching!!! 💗 It seems like lots of military folk have been stationed in Alaska at some point or are currently stationed there now! It's certainly not too bad of a place to be stationed, except for the winters, apparently haha. Wishing you a wonderful week and a fantastic autumn season!

@@ChadandClaire thank you and yes. Winters are unreal where my nephew is. Way below zero. Not my weather lol. The elk walk around the base all the time and is super cool. Wanted to ask, how many stories is that cruise ship? Your room was a really good size for a cruise ship. You two have a blessed week❤️❤️

Ah, yes, Ricky- it's finally up! Hahaha thank you so much for your endless support. We are so honored to be a part of your morning routine!!! 😁 Keep up those daily four miles! 😉

@@ChadandClaire I certainly will! I am waiting by myself in Houston airport for my flight back to upstate NY, and it really hit the spot! Haha! Now, if I can only find some of that delicious crab here while I’m waiting 🤔 lol probably not lol. Looking forward to your next one. Have a great night ☺️

Thank you so much for watching!!! Wishing you good health in return. Wow- Siberia! What a place to live!!!

Thank you so much!!! Very cool that you've been able to use a sickle in real life! I'm assuming to cut or harvest grain? 😁

Yes, probably showing my age but used one growing up on a farm.

Hello, hello! Miss you, too- it's certainly been a while! I would definitely say that Alaska is one of the most expensive states to visit. Any place with such magnificent, untouched, natural beauty comes with a hefty price tag haha. Food, accommodations, transportation, and experiences will all be on the more expensive side, especially when comparing prices to the lower 48 states. However, I think similar to Iceland, there are still ways to stick to a tighter budget; you just might have to really search for those more affordable experiences and accommodations. I know a lot of budget travelers recommend roadtripping the state- maybe even traveling out of a vehicle that doubles as a place to sleep! If we weren't joining my sister on a family vacation, we probably would have traveled the state in a converted van to save money!

How incredible- you probably got to see a bit of autumn foliage as well! Did you enjoy your time there? 😁

@@ChadandClaire Yes but in Ontario Canada where I live, the fall colors are much more impressive then Alaska. More variety of trees. The maple tree itself has many different types and colours.. We seen lots of different glaciers in glacier Bay. Visited a gold rush saloon the Red Onion. Went to a dog sled kennel and rode in a 4x4 being pulled by the dogs. Seen the top of Mt Dennelli which is usually not visible because it is higher then the clouds and is the tallest mountain in North America. It is a great place to visit. Yucky part was I got sick three days before the flight home and tested positive for Covid when I got home.

Because they have lots of money they can do it all

They bought their experiences.

Most of this isn't even in Anchorage itself -_- I'd rather take our RZR to the Glacier out in Jim Creek any day!

Influencers smh 🤦

😂 knew I'd find a fellow resident in the comments

I am Taiwanese-American!!!
