Is Anchorage Alaska worth visiting?
IMO Anchorage is well worth a day or two. There are a ton of really great activities: hiking, museums, fishing, dining, arts/crafts, scenery all within the city. AK is huge and if you’re here just for a little while, I wouldn’t suggest any where too far away (like Denali).

Is Juneau bigger than Anchorage?
Because Juneau is smaller (just under 33,000 residents, compared to Anchorage’s 300,000), it’s pretty obvious when a cruise ship (or two or three) full of passengers gets to town. Anchorage, on the other hand, is bigger and can absorb visitors without oversaturating.

Do and don’ts in Alaska?
Never keep food in a tent overnight (not even toothpaste or bug spray), and don’t camp along animal paths, especially near a lake or river. Bears use these trails. Do try the local berries, but avoid the poisonous baneberry—it looks like a red black-eyed pea when ripe.
