Your trip to Anchorage would not be complete without experiencing the great summer Salmon runs. Head over to the Campbell Creek Greenbelt in the Midtown area for a firsthand fishing experience. You can bike, hike, cross-country ski, roller blade, or jog on the greenbelt for miles. Take care in the winter, because the moose roam freely.
