How to get here
Well of course you can fly. Many flights arrive into Anchorage late at night, which may be fine for an early morning start on Day 1, depending on where you are flying from and how jet-lagged you may be.

Please do NOT plan to arrive in Anchorage on the morning of the trip. Unless you are part of a custom trip, we will not be able to delay the start for your arrival.

Where to stay in Anchorage
This is a tough one...personal taste in accommodation varies greatly.

Here's a few Hostels that are clean, comfortable and a bargain compared to anywhere else in town:

Anchorage Guest House

26th Street International Hostel

Arctic Adventure Hostel

Spenard Hostel International

One of our favorite B&B's is Susitna Place suplace@alaska.net -- (907-274-3344)

Then there are the usual chains, convenient to the airport, Super 8 (1-800-800-8000) , Courtyard or Residence, Marriot(1-877-729-0197).

Other major chains are also downtown, Sheraton, Hilton etc. Anchorage rates are surprisingly high.

Please be careful of trying to go super-cheap. Unless you choose one of the hostels we recommend above, budget accommodation in Anchorage can be a real dive. You might like to check out comments on Trip Advisor before booking.
