Got your rod and reel but don't know where to cast your line? Two of the most popular fishing spots near Anchorage are Bird Creek and Mat-Su Valley Lakes. Bird Creek is where you may find silver and good pink salmon at the end of your line. The creek is about an hour's drive south of downtown Anchorage. The Mat-Su Valley Lakes are about 40 minutes north of town and the quiet atmosphere is a welcome getaway where you can catch trout, Arctic Char and landlocked salmon.

Your respective schedules may have the two of you stressed out more than usual. If that's the case, then a soothing date at the Anastassia Spa is most definitely in order. There's something special and relaxing waiting for the both of you at Adagio Day Spa, as you can choose from a variety of treatments like a gentleman's facial, a hot stone massage or a deep tissue massage that will melt away your stress and leave the two of you relaxed and ready to enjoy each other's company for the rest of the evening.

Experience what it was like to pan for gold as you travel back in time to when Anchorage was the crossroads for gold rush adventurers. Maybe you'll hit the motherlode as you pan for gold in a setting that most closely resembles that of the early pioneers. It will be a fun afternoon of learning (and panning) for the whole family at Indian Valley Mine.
