Anchorage, on the southern coast of Alaska, is the state's largest city and a center of culture and education. The city experiences a mild climate compared to the rest of the state and thus is a frequent tourist destination. It is home to the starting line of the annual Iditarod Dog Sled Race and provides a jumping-off point for explorations into the wilds of north Alaska, including nearby Denali State Park.
