Anchorage
Glen Alps straddles the transition between Anchorage’s urban edge and Chugach State Park in Alaska, a position that has made it an important trail access point for the city’s eastern foothills. It lies below the Chugach Mountains, where wooded slopes rise from the Anchorage Bowl toward Flattop Mountain. Trails from Glen Alps lead into Powerline Pass and toward Flattop, a prominent hiking destination for Anchorage residents. Chugach State Park was established in 1970 and protects an extensive area of mountains, valleys and lakes immediately east of the city. Glen Alps therefore connects Anchorage’s everyday outdoor life with a protected mountain landscape.

Among the cities of Alaska, Anchorage stands out for its position between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains. Alaska’s largest city grew from a construction camp established in 1914 for the Alaska Railroad, and it remains a practical base for understanding the state’s immense scale. The downtown Anchorage Museum presents art, history and science from Alaska and the wider North, while the city lies in the traditional homeland of the Dena’ina Athabascan people. Along the inlet, the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail links urban parks with broad tidal flats and mountain horizons.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
