Beluga Point & Flattop: Chugach State Park Tours Where Magic Meets Mountains
As we head south on the Seward Highway, we’ll make a memorable stop at Beluga Point Anchorage. This cliffside spot offers sweeping views of Turnagain Arm and is famous for—yes—beluga whale sightings during fish migration season.
For our final adventure, we ascend into the Chugach State Park tours route for a scenic overlook at Flattop Mountain, one of Anchorage’s most hiked and photographed spots. Whether you’re a casual walker or experienced hiker, the views from here give you a powerful perspective of just how wild and beautiful Anchorage really is.
Anchorage’s Indigenous Roots
As we journey through Anchorage, you’ll also learn about its Indigenous heritage—specifically the Dena’ina Athabascans, the Alaskan Native tribe who have called this land home for thousands of years.
Anchorage’s Alaska Native Heritage Center, a place of sharing and learning, is more than just a cultural center—it’s a tribute to the region’s First Peoples, featuring Indigenous architecture, language preservation efforts, and educational exhibits.
Visitors often ask about Alaskan Native tribe names, and this tour provides context for those stories, helping you connect more deeply with the land and its people. I also share insights about the nearby Eklutna tribe, who still maintain deep cultural ties to the region.
