You can view Mt. Susitna from the Coastal Trail, which extends from downtown, south to the Airport, around the west side, then further south to Kinkaid Park.
This is our popular bike trail, which cost the same amount to build per square foot, as our highways.
Summer activies have already started, namely, the Downtown Saturday Market, the construction and road closures, gardening everywhere, and soon, the baseball season. The golf courses are opening with temporary greens switching over to the beautiful grass. People are walking trails, malls, paths with a smile on their faces, having survived a long bitter winter. The bears have come out of hibernation, and it’s not uncommon to see a cow moose with her calf by the road, or in your yard. Downtown is thriving, with tourists lining the streets. The cruise ships have cut back, they say, but I think that affects Southeast businesses more than Anchorage (Southcentral).
Altho’ we’ve been spared the faltering economy, and swine flu, and pirates, we have had some natural attacks with flooding of villages on the Yukon River, and fires in Homer, but Alaskans are tough, and we bounce back . .. just watch!
Come on up and visit us . . you won’t be sorry.
