Urban and wild Anchorage, Alaska! The beautiful and diverse city of Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and is sometimes referred to as "The Banana Belt" of Alaska. From the sparkling waters of Cook Inlet to the tallest peaks of the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage encompasses wild adventures and metropolitan appeals that form larger-than-life experiences. Anchorage is a unique, year-round destination with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, a place where young spirits and adventurous souls come to play. Step foot on a glacier, fish for king salmon, hike to a mountain vista, fly out to Mount McKinley, cruise in comfort through Prince William Sound, and enjoy hip, metropolitan amenities with frontier flair.

The closest major airport to the facility is the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, which is a short 11 miles away.
