More than 40% of the population of Alaska reside in Anchorage. In people terms, that is just under 300,000. It is also centrally located to connect the rest of the country by rail, road or sea, but it is not the capital. That honour goes to Juneau which lies much further south, has a population of only 30,000 people and isn't connected to the rest of the country by road.
We visited Anchorage during Summer in August and the weather was gorgeous. Blue skies, warm temperature and lots of locals enjoying it. Some of the things we saw as we spent a day walking around Anchorage...

Anchorage is a very pleasant town. The streets are wide and clean and the people friendly.
