Free Evening Stroll on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail (Downtown Segment)

After you’re dropped back downtown, take a relaxed, unguided evening walk on the easily accessed segment of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail near the 2nd Avenue / Resolution Park area. Walk as little or as much as you like along the paved path with views over Cook Inlet and, on clear evenings, distant mountains glowing in late light. Keep an eye out for bald eagles and, occasionally, moose near the treeline.

Simon & Seafort's Saloon & Grill

Classic Anchorage restaurant perched above Cook Inlet, known for fresh seafood, steaks, and big picture windows. Order Alaskan halibut or salmon, consider sharing an appetizer like crab and artichoke dip, and linger over drinks while watching the light over the water. Reservations strongly recommended, especially for a window table.
