City Walks - Anchorage Alaska Downtown - Sunday Morning Virtual Walking Tour

[@btmonnat]

I visited Alaska probably 10 years ago. Sailed out of Vancouver hit 3 ports journeyed inland by bus then once we reached Denali, rode the train into Anchorage. Was so happy to see the log cabin visitor center I remember that the most with all the flowers. Flew out of Anchorage and back to northern New York. A trip I will always remember, loved Alaska.

[@CityWalks]

That sounds like an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing and glad this brought back memories. -H

Great to see you walking in Alaska! I commented before on one of your Montana City Walks about travelling through northern Montana on the westbound Amtrak Empire Builder in 2003, on the way from Chicago to Seattle, before travelling up to Alaska. I travelled up the coast from Vancouver to Seward, and then to Anchorage, before heading on up to Fairbanks, where I spent most of the month of September. Alaska was so beautiful in the fall. I still think about that trip, and I would love to travel on the Alaska Railroad one day. I did visit the Alaska Railroad Depot in Anchorage, but I ended up taking a bus up the George Park's Highway to Fairbanks, which was an adventure in itself. I haven't commented for a while, but I am still very much enjoying your walks from over here in the UK. All the best

[@CityWalks]

I remember the comment. Thanks so much for sharing, as always. Love hearing other people's stories. We're really enjoying Alaska in September. Things are changing fast but it's beautiful. -H

Beautiful walk Henry. I hope to visit Anchorage one day. It's a real Wonderland. I would like to know more about foreign immigrants living there and the education center for them. Hugs from Argentina.

[@CityWalks]

Many thanks Sergio. I've never lived there, just visited so I'll leave that for other viewers to answer. I suspect there's a sizeable immigrant community there merely because it's such a major port. All the best, -H

[@laurasosa1272]

Great to see you walking in Alaska!

[@CityWalks]

me too! Such a cool state and we're only seeing a small bit of it. -H

[@montyhall2805]

I guess I'm so used to seeing alaska when it's covered in snow. Has a northern michigan type feel with all the green. One day I'd like to visit AK.

[@CityWalks]

It was a joy to finally get up there and explore so many towns did heard about. Heading back in September. -H

[@pamduncan2497]

Can't wait to do this walk with you, Henry! Have never been to Alaska, but would like to visit one day. Thank you as always for these wonderful tours! 🙂

[@CityWalks]

Thanks so much Pam. Alaska has been on our dream list for awhile! -H

[@RufanaDenmark]

I went to Anchorage in sep. 2015 as part of a group tour together with Rufus and Loudon Wainwright and their musical family -who did concerts in Anchorage, Homer and Seward.. It was a very long flight from Denmark, it took us 22 hours to get there due to two cancelled flights -and our luggage ended up in Chicago. Anchorage isn’t a particularly charming city but I loved the Anchorage Museum and The Anchorage Performing Arts Center. Kenai Peninsula is overall absolutely breathtaking. It was a trip of a lifetime.

[@CityWalks]

Our travels were much easier but the Kenai was fantastic. So glad you got to see it. We tried to go see the Anchorage museum but it was closed and we didn't make it back. Next time! Thanks so much for sharing -H

[@suebdoo9760]

I work for a travel company. They are sending me on one of our group tours to Alaska to experience one as I work in the office. We have a free afternoon in Anchorage so I wrote down some of the shops you showed. Hope our hotel is walking distance to them. Thanks.

[@CityWalks]

It was. Thanks Suebdoo. Have a great trip. -H

[@3dplanet100]

Wow, Anchorage is such a beautiful city! And look at that golden glass building @ 7:24 wow, really beautiful building!!

[@CityWalks]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting -H

[@adel7187]

Wow 🤩 new experience added to the channel, great walk as always

[@CityWalks]

Many thanks. -H

[@FlexxenRandomPlaces]

Wow, enioy the north! The sky reminds me so much of Northern Europe, I wanna travel 😫😆

[@CityWalks]

I can see that for sure and me too! on the travel. 😆😆 -H

[@moneymindfinance]

Alaska Downtown looks huge.😁✌️

[@CityWalks]

I found it to be surprisingly walkable and quickly switches to residential. But the downtown has a "mass" that is a bit surprising. Thanks. -H

[@AKrose777]

Kobuk is pronounced ko-buck. Like the village of the same name in Northwestern AK. Thanks Enjoyed the video 💙

[@CityWalks]

Cool, thanks -H

[@dannyhuelva4897]

I've never thought that there is such a city in Alaska with plenty of tall buildings like Anchorage, amazing! I thought it's only in Juneau. The downtown looks more like that of Spokane or Portland. Wow. ❤️

[@CityWalks]

Yeah, similar feel but smaller than those two. Thanks for watching -H

[@dthels75]

Running out of compliments. Great walk. I have just subscibed to your wife's channel

[@CityWalks]

Oh great, thanks! All the best and thanks for the support -H

[@aWalkingGirl]

Wow it is not common to see Alaska. Thank you!

[@CityWalks]

Our pleasure! So cool to be up here exploring. -H

[@Bill-cv1xu]

Mural by Weyland, I think there's a couple in the downtown area.

[@CityWalks]

There are some great murals and art all around. I'm loving it. Thanks. -H

[@Rishi_yadav.7]

Next trip to Dutton Montana please... Especially North Side of Dutton I.E "Diamond Valley" And it's Countryside 🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@CityWalks]

Not sure what Dutton IE is? (Ireland?). Dutton Montana doesn't seem like it has sides. It's only about 4 blocks long. -H

[@kevinbennett3954]

It is interesting You mentioned Captain James Cook He and another explorer who was with called William Bligh were the first to explore and colonize Australia to which William Bligh became Australia's first governor What a small world we live in lol

[@CityWalks]

All the smaller because of Captain Cooke. I read something (can't remember the source) that said that during the many French vs English wars and during the American Revolution, all sides agreed that the Cook expeditions were so important that they agreed not to bother him. -H

[@debj7]

😊👍tY Henry

[@CityWalks]

Your welcome! -H

[@rolling-home]

Looks like a ghost town, which time u filmed? :o

[@CityWalks]

It was pretty early on a Sunday morning. -H

[@rolling-home]

@@CityWalks ohh, I see, love that part of the day the most 🥰

[@elainepettit2292]

Great morning walk - I imagined Anchorage would be a bit primitive but it's not at all. Have they preserved any of the original buildings? The whales look like orcas (killer whales). Have a fantastic trip.

[@CityWalks]

Thanks so much. There are a few older buildings but the 1964 earthquake did a lot of damage. -H

[@mark6168]

I lived in Anchorage for 31/2 years in the 70s. I thought the mountains were side of the city.

[@mark6168]

I mean on the west side of the city

[@CityWalks]

That must have been a wild time there. We’re you working on the pipeline? There are so many mountains there, I found myself getting turned around a lot. -H

[@dthels75]

I am related to Charles Darwin on my maternal side

[@CityWalks]

Whoah. Really? That's pretty cool. -H

[@aguynsohoyo5656]

Walking around the areas of cannabis locations could be future possible walk

[@CityWalks]

Good suggestion. I could add in breweries for balance. There are quite a few around. -H
