2010 Fur Rendezvous Festival in Anchorage, Alaska: The Fur Rondy

January 18, 2010 in Alaska Hotels, Events, Family Travel, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

Sure, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people fly and sail into Alaska in the summertime to experience one of the Earth’s most abundant natural landscapes. The vibrant forests, the fluking whales, the entirely above freezing temperatures – I get it. It’s nice.
But real adventure fans say nuts to that. Real adventure [...]

Must-See Museums – Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center

August 6, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, American History Tours, Museums, Summer Vacations by Steven

I like to recommend attractions that are most certainly not just down the road. Make you work for it a little.
The Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center is not reason enough to travel to Alaska, but if your adventures do one day take you to Anchorage (and I hope that they do), this stunning, modern, inventive [...]

Top Trails in America – Tony Knowles Coastal Trail in Alaska

May 5, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

Looking back, our piece the other day on Swine Flu Travel Tips was missing something important: an alternative. So you’re not going to Mexico, and you didn’t score a free upgrade to Jamaica like one of the USA Travel Guide staffers did just today. What to do? Well, you can take the money you would [...]

The stars of the show were celebrated mushers [...]

Jeff King and Mitch Seavey Pre-Iditarod Meet & Greet

February 27, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, Events by Steven

How’s this for good timing?
The Inlet Tower Anchorage Hotel & Suites, which I mentioned in last week’s post about the 2009 Iditarod Sled Dog Race, is hosting two Iditarod winners for a Meet & Greet on March 6, the day before the big race kicks off.
Mitch Seavey, who came out on top of the arduous [...]

2009 Iditarod Sled Dog Race

February 17, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, Events, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

When I was in third grade, we had a school project where every night one student was required to call up the Iditarod hotline and get the latest rankings to report to everyone the next day of class (this was before the Internet). The Iditarod was no small feat – bitter snowstorms, subzero temperatures, incredible [...]

The 2009 Fur Rendezvous Festival in Anchorage, Alaska

February 4, 2009 in Alaska Hotels, Events, Family Travel by Steven

At USA Travel Guide, it always thrills us feature an event as friendly, unique and spirit-warming as Anchorage, Alaska’s annual Fur Rendezvous Festival or “Fur Rondy”. A late February tradition since 1935, the Fur Rondy was first established to celebrate the arrival of the miners and trappers to the Anchorage area with a fresh winter’s [...]
