Discover the Alaska's connection to Russia when you tour Eklutna Historical Park. This hidden treasure has been open since 1990 and the staff and personnel work hard to preserve the cultural traditions of the south-central Alaskan native peoples. When you visit the village, the first stop is the Heritage House that features native art, old photographs and various historical presentations. You'll also see greater Anchorage's oldest building, the Russian Orthodox St. Nicholas Church, that is located within the park.
Club Paris invites you to class it up tonight at their elegant nightlife establishment. When you walk in, you'll know that you've discovered something special. There's big band and jazz on the jukebox and wine and martini's being served up. This is the place to bring someone who you want to get to know better, and the elegant atmosphere means that you can actually have a conversation that the two of you will actually hear and not have to shout at each other! Club Paris is no ordinary bar, this is a completely first-class experience!
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.
