THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
hey everyone, my parents and i will be comming up there for a 2 week vacation. we want to do a good bit of fishing and hiking and other fun stuff.
we have all been up there a few times but we want to do something different. so any suggestions would be great.
we dont know much of anywhere but anchorage. so advice would be great.
where to go where not to go?
best fishing places?
any gun shows?
any good/cheap deep sea fishing?
any help would be great
yes we are tourist but we are the adventure type.

our dates are
11-14 be in anchorage
14-16 go to homer
17-20 back in anchorage
21-26 drive north? (we have a camper rented for 6 or 7 days)

my uncle lives in anchorage so we have a place to stay there
we have a cabin rented in homer but not sure if its where we want to stay(not cheap)
then the camper

thanks in advance for the help

You have entirely too much Anchorage on your itinerary

The silvers should be running in Valdez while you're here and the drive down there is beautiful (particularly that time of year)

Other than that I got nothing. I'll be moose/caribou hunting in the subsistence areas during part of that time but you have to be a resident of a remote area to do that.

I'm headed down the 30th to try and get some silvers and halibut. Hope they're still running good by then

Just got back from Anchorage. Try the tram in Girdwood, which will get you on a beautiful drive south along the water. For eating, we enjoyed Snow City Cafe, Simon and Seafort's, and Jimmy's Sushi.
