WHERE TO STAY

The Earth B&B in Anchorage (907-279-9907; www.earthbb.com) is always one of the highlights of my trips to Alaska to go climbing. The owners, Lori and Angel, are great hostesses and ready to provide all the information one could possibly need to enjoy the city of Anchorage and surrounding areas (beautiful!). I would not stay anywhere else in Anchorage!

Camp Denali in Denali National Park (907-683-2290; www.campdenali.com) is a fabulous place to stay and to explore the fascinating tundra and river bars and observe the wildlife of one of the last great wildernesses. We liked Camp Denali so much when we first happened on it in 1982 that my wife and I have returned over a dozen times.

We stayed at Three Moose Meadow B&B (907-235-0755; hideawaycovelodge.com; ), near Homer, on our honeymoon. We stayed in one of the bright little secluded cabins with fireplaces, kitchens, nice big porches and pleasant décor. There’s a sod-roof sauna & a Jacuzzi. It’s quiet and gorgeous — and yes, there are moose everywhere.

WHERE TO EAT

The absolute best place to eat in Homer is Finn’s Pizza (907-235-2878; Cannery Row Boardwalk). Located on the Homer Spit, it has a breathtaking view with casual, comfortable seating. The pizza, which you can watch being made, is a spectacular concoction of local and organic ingredients, attentively prepared and then baked in a wood-fired oven. The thin-crusted pizza with deliciously orchestrated ingredients, fresh organic salad of local greens, locally brewed beer and organic wine selection along with the incredible view, make for a truly memorable eating experience.

Snow City Cafe in downtown Anchorage (907-272-2489; www.snowcitycafe.com) has great food. Their butternut squash and apple soup is a must try. Great breakfast as well.
