Anchorage sits on a coastal lowland between two tidal inlets, with the Chugach Mountains as its eastern edge and Chugach State Park starting at the city limits. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail runs along Cook Inlet from downtown, and at 61 degrees north the summer days barely end. The airport is a short drive from downtown.
