This posting of our Alaska RV trip is about our time in Anchorage. Someone we met along the way told us that he wouldn’t spend any time in Anchorage—it was just a big city. We did not find that to be true.

Anchorage

After Denali, we go to Anchorage. It’s a scenic trip south, and we stop several times along the way to look out at the snow-covered mountain tops. It is warmer and drier here, than Denali National Park.

We stay at the Moose Lodge. We get a nice site, with electric, for $5 a night. It is nice facility.

The bartender recommends a restaurant called Saint Coyote (Coyote Santo). We almost don’t go in, because there are only two people inside. But they tell us we picked a great place, so we stay. They have only been open for two weeks, and have not advertised. We have a Copper King Salmon Sashimi appetizer, a Blackened Halibut Caesar Salad and Salmon Special with Rockefeller Sauce. Everything is delicious! We get enough food for dinner the next day.

The next day we take the car in to get the parking brake fixed. (See 2019 RV Trip—Alaska, Part 7.) The Honda dealer in Fairbanks didn’t have the parts to fix them, so we called Continental Honda, in Anchorage a few days ago, ordered the parts and made an appointment.

Continental Honda offers free Uber. We go downtown, to the visitors center. From there, we walk down to the river, watch people catch salmon. Then we go to F Street Station for lunch. More awesome food! We have beer battered halibut and grilled salmon salad. After lunch, we walk some more. We stop at 49th State Brewing Company. We buy two half beers. They are good, but the view here is great. The menu looks good, but we have already eaten. Then, we walk a short way on the Coastal Trail, and get a free Uber back to the car dealership. Our parking brakes are fixed!

The next day, we drive to some parks in, and near Anchorage. First we go to Woronzof Point, and walk down to the beach. Then, we drive to Earthquake Park. We want to look at the signs about the March 27, 1964 earthquake. It was strongest earthquake in North America. The mosquitoes are so bad, we don’t spend much time here. Then, we go to Potter Marsh, which has a really nice boardwalk. The marsh was accidentally created when they built the railroad. Then, we go to Beluga Point—we don’t see any whales or a bore tide. We go to Windy Point—we don’t see any Dall Sheep. We try to find Bird Point at mile 99, but don’t see the boardwalk. We find out later that the map we have is wrong. It’s at mile 96.

Then, we drive into downtown Anchorage, and go to the New Sagaya City Market to buy some seafood. This place was recommended to us by the bartender at the F Street Station. We buy a whole king salmon, which he filets, cuts into four pieces, and vacuum seals. We also buy a pound of halibut, which we cook for dinner. We blacken the halibut on the RV, and it is awesome!

I think we’ll stay another day.

We drive to the Flattop Mountain trail head, in Chugach State Park, The trail is considered to be hard. It is 3.3 miles, 1,430 foot elevation. We go most of the way, about 1.5 miles and 820 feet. It is getting steep and clouds start moving in, so we decide to turn around. What we did was awesome, and we got some great pictures.

It’s time to move on. We get up, and fill the fresh water tank at the Moose Lodge. Then, we drive to the Holiday gas station, fill up with gas, and dump the black and gray water tanks. We’ve been on the road for 86 days and driven 7,400 miles. Next stop—Homer.

We enjoyed our time in Anchorage, much more than expected. It is a mixture of city and nature, with an interesting history.
