Beautiful sunset in Anchorage (postcard)
Anchorage is Alaska's largest city, housing over a quarter of a million people. Sometimes called "Air Crossroads of the World", Anchorage is a major gateway for international travelers and offers many attractions of any large metropolis.
Anchorage sits at the base of the Chugach Mountains along the coast of Cook Inlet in Southcentral Alaska. It's as far north as Helsinki (Finland).

The size of Anchorage is 1,955 sq.miles (5,083 sq.km) - about the size of the state of Delaware!

 And every summer there seems to be more flowers, both on the ground and hanging.
