There are few places you can visit that offer such a grand scene as Anchorage, Alaska. Anchorage, home to over a third of the state’s population, is the cultural center of Alaska. Built on the shores of the Cook Inlet, Anchorage is surrounded by untamed wilderness. Snow-capped mountains tower in the distance and destinations such as Chugach State Park, Denali State Park, Nelchina Public Use Area, and Chugach National Forest are all within driving distance. Fishing, hiking, ice climbing, glacier cruises, dog sledding, 4-wheeling, horse riding, motorcycle tours, rafting, flightseeing – the list of adventures are endless when you visit Anchorage.
Anchorage is also a happening city with a lot of local attractions, from craft brews and fresh seafood to a great nightlife and a high-end cannabis scene. Alaska became one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana in 2014, along with Oregon, and Anchorage has since become the state’s cannabis culture hub. Of the dozens of dispensaries in Anchorage, most are open between the hours of 8 AM and 12 AM, serving some incredibly high-quality weed. While delivery is not currently legal in Alaska, there are enough dispensaries in Anchorage to make access super easy. We hope to see the Anchorage cannabis scene grow even more over the next few years!
