Make sure to get out of the few square blocks of downtown. Venture out to any one of the hundreds of hiking trails, several glaciers, lakes, rivers, or beaches. You’ll see bald eagles, bears, mountain goats, ravens, spawning salmon, old growth forest, wildflowers, maybe even some gold! If you like this kind of stuff you’ll never tire of the place. Downtown isn’t the most quaint in AK, but it serves it’s purpose, and does have some really fun bars with amazing musicians playing live almost every night. Also, it’s very liveable. Plenty of jobs and a relatively decent amount of things to do indoors in addition to the vast array of outdoorsy stuff.
