Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city and feels surprisingly lively—think good restaurants, museums, live music, a regional airport, and instant access to world-class outdoor recreation like hiking, salmon fishing, glacier day trips, skiing and dramatic Northern Lights viewing.
Within an hour you can be at Alyeska Ski Resort and the tram in Girdwood or exploring the Matanuska-Susitna valley around Wasilla/Palmer, so a multi-week contract can be a comfortable urban base with nonstop adventure on your doorstep.
