Exploring Anchorage with a Rental Car

Chugach National Forest is your rare chance to view the North American wilderness untouched, and at its best. The park offers countless panoramic views of Prince William Sound, wooded areas, and lakes. As an added treat, wildlife abounds throughout Chugach National Forest.

A nice little side trip to take during your time in Anchorage is the Alaskan Zoo. The zoo boasts exotic creatures like the Amur Tiger, and various wild animals that were rescued from the surrounding wilderness. The zoo was originally started in 1968 when Jack Snyder, a grocer, won a contest that offered either $3,000 or a baby elephant as the prize. Snyder took the elephant, and the rest is history.
