Alaska is a bucket-list destination that more than lives up to the hype. Indeed, the great outdoors doesn’t get much greater than this. The state’s main draw lies in the natural, rather than the man-made, but visitors this year will have the added attraction of Anchorage’s centenary celebrations. The state’s largest settlement sprang up as a tent city around Ship Creek, a construction camp for Alaska Railroad workers – although it still only has 300,000 inhabitants (and 1,500 moose wandering the streets). Celebratory exhibitions, tours and events are taking place throughout the year to mark the milestone (anchoragecentennial.org).
