Drive up Eagle River Lp, to Skyline and up to the top for one of the best views in Alaska! The hike from the top of Skyline up to Mt. Baldy is steep but well worth it. You can see all of Anchorage below and Cook Inlet. Even Denali on a nice day.
Bella Vista. Italian and also very good. Jalapenos. One of the better Anchorage-area Mexican restaurants. Medium Priced and nice and colorful inside.
