Awesome views, great trails. Fun to comb the beach for agates and volcanic rock. The only sad part is that people love to trash this beach. Especially by throwing beer bottles over the bluff.

This place is small, but never ceases to amaze me. You can park and walk on the trails, or just park and look out over the ocean.

You have to take the short drive out to this point. The mountain backdrop when you look at downtown is amazing, but then looking out over the ocean at the mountains in the distance takes your breath away. Went on a beautiful day when you could see Mt McKinley. Would love to have time to run on the trails nearby.

This is, in my opinion, the most beautiful spot in Anchorage. The view is breathtaking.

This park is at the end of the runway. Good access to the coastal trail. We like to view the aurora from here when it's rated a 4 or greater.

I live in anchorage and this is one of my favorite places to go. On the left you have the ocean and can watch incoming barges. On the right is a perfect view of downtown Anchorage with the Chugach mountains as its backdrop. beautiful.

Located on the western tip of Anchorage International Airport, Point Woronzof has more to offer than breathtaking views of jets landing and taking off a few hundred feet overhead. This is THE place to visit if you're hoping to capture the perfect Alaskan sunset photograph! The park, as well as the road leading to it, is a hotspot for viewing... More

Everytime I have family visit I take them here for a picnic. The views are great, you can always see Sleeping Lady and on a clear day you can see Mount McKinley. We all enjoy watching the planes fly in and the kids really love running around on the beach and climbing the bluff.
