Day Five and Day Six

Day Five - Talkeetna/Anchorage: We take a Motorcoach ride to Anchorage. Overnight in Anchorage.

The population of the state of Alaska is less than 700,000. About 42% of that population resides in Anchorage. The city is slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island.

The photos here are from our arrival in Anchorage, views from our Hotel, and, a short tour of an Alaskan Native Cultural center.
