The paved path runs 11 miles, and bike rentals are an inexpensive, easy way to explore every stretch. Leaving downtown, the trail hugs the coast, with great views of Dghelishla, the mountain otherwise known as Sleeping Lady, or Mount Susitna. On clear days, Denali and nearby Mount Foraker loom on the horizon.
Anchorage has several amazing restaurants and the BEST fresh seafood which is one of the main things we miss about living in Anchorage. Make sure to check out F Street, Humpy's (great Bloody Mary Bar) Simon and Seaforts and Glacier Brewhouse if you are Downtime. Mooses Tooth and Bears Tooth have AMAZING pizza and beer. If you want to sit next to the creek and enjoy the sunshine check out Peanut Farm. Some great breakfast spots: Gwennie's Snow City, and Kriners Dinner.
