  • The Alaskan natives are skilled craftsmen. Support them by buying authentic crafts. I recommend the Baleen woven baskets, made from baleen which is part of a whale's mouth.

  • Anchorage attracts visitors from all over the world, so grab a bench and watch the parade, or better yet, make new friends.

  • We live in a beautiful place, and don't want it mussed up by thoughtless people who litter, so please find an trash recepticle for any unwanted items.

    This dumpster is located at the House of Harley, and is the prettiest darn dumpster I have ever seen!

    Local Customs: We Don't live in Igloos

  • There are many misconceptions about Alaska. One is that we all live in Igloos. We Don't! The only igloos you will see (outside of gift shops) are the ones at the airport used for hauling mail and freight on airplanes.

    We were on our way to Earthquake Park and I just had to stop and get this photo of an Igloo in Alaska.
