Day 1   Anchorage Start your day with breakfast at The Pantry at The Hotel Captain Cook, in the heart of downtown. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the Sunshine Plaza for an historical view of the 1964 earthquake, or see it firsthand at Earthquake Park. After that, drive up to Flattop at the base of the Chugach mountains, which is one of the city’s popular day hikes. Or, you could stroll a peaceful, wooded trail in Bicentennial Park. Have lunch on the huge outdoor deck at The Fancy Moose, overlooking Lake Spenard, the world’s busiest floatplane lake. Visit the Alaska Zoo, and see some Alaska wildlife up close. Have dinner at Simon and Seafort’s (the crab artichoke dip is to die for) for the most spectacular sunset view you could ever imagine. This sunset will last for hours (you ARE in Alaska…).
