What's a visit to Anchorage without uttering the word "mush?" Well, shouting the word is more like it at the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race held every March. World-class sled racers and their dog teams mush toward the Bering Sea coast through the area's rugged terrain in what has been termed the "Last Great Race on Earth." The route is a staggering 1,150 miles and it all starts in downtown Anchorage the first Saturday in March with a grand ceremony to begin the race.

Obeidi's Fine Art Gallery is one of Anchorage's largest galleries that features a wide range of artwork from artists from all over the world. Bateman and Brenders are just a couple of the names that adorn the many paintings that hang on the walls, and if there is a piece that just has to come home with you, you can purchase lithographs in the gallery's gift shop and have them framed in the shop next door.

If you and the family already know how to ski, great. If you don't, a great place to learn and enjoy all the fun that goes with it is the Alyeska Resort. The resort features skiing during the winter months, and a great variety of other activities the whole family will love like mountain biking, hiking, scenic rides in the sky and much more. So stay at the hotel and plan your Alaskan adventure with the help of the friendly and professional staff at Alyeska Resort.
