In summer, the average temperature is 65 degrees, ideal for sightseeing or partaking in the area's unique activities. Imagine a day of arctic biking and fishing or panning for gold at an old mine. Explore Prince William Sound to see the fjords, glaciers and rare wildlife the state is famous for. In winter, with an average of 26 degrees, alpine skiing, dog sledding and Skijoring, a fast growing sport that involves cross-country skiing while being towed by a dog, are just a few favored pastimes. Rich in culture and tradition, Anchorage offers ample opportunity to learn about the history of the city and Alaska's native people at museums and heritage centers.
