Too bad. Anchorage is actually a nice city. The drive on the Seward Highway that was mentioned is a great drive, no matter how far you drive it. The Native Heritage Center is basically closed for the season, so that would not have worked anyway (I think they are open some weekends in the fall). Another great option is to get yourself to the mountains east of Anchorage and do a nice hike. I did that myself last Friday. Beautiful weather and a great 10 mile hike from Glen Alps. Saw quite a few moose (bulls, cow and calf) and great scenery and colors. You don't have to hike as far as I did.
So maybe you can store all the info for your next time.
Never made it out of MSP yesterday. After a five hour delay I had them send me back home. I am guessing too late to book another trip before the cold comes, so will now need to wait until Spring/Summer. I have never been so disappointed in a canceled trip before.
So next year I will go and plan a longer stay.
Thanks for the suggestions
