Sightseeing
This is a popular hiking location among the locals in Anchorage. The difficulty level is moderate with certain points in the hike where you will be needing to use your hands to climb up cliffs. This hike is family friendly and I personally have done this hike with children also.

Cities to visit
Seward is a beautiful cozy port city located in the south of Alaska. You can go charter fishing with one of the many charter fishing services, or if the season is right, you can even fish right off the shore for Salmon. Make sure you get some fresh catch of the day fish at the local stores or restaurants.
