THE LAST FRONTIER AT AGE 51<br />
By Renee Brincks<br />
Apr 28, 2010<br />
Now, into its 51st anniversary as the 49th state, the l<strong>and</strong> of the midnight sun still lures travelers with<br />
legendary natural beauty: everything from active glaciers <strong>and</strong> arctic terrain to temperate rainforests<br />
<strong>and</strong> rare wildlife.

“People always want to come to Alaska, <strong>and</strong> conferences here give them that opportunity,” says<br />
Karen Zak, general manager of Visions Meeting & Event Management in Anchorage. Delegates often<br />
bring spouses to events <strong>and</strong>, she adds, they tend to come early or stay late to explore. “In general, we<br />
see a 20% increase in attendance for national events in Alaska, because it’s such a draw.”<br />
Planners also appreciate the state’s no-nonsense appeal. Shoulder-season deals offer cost savings<br />
(some attractions <strong>and</strong> accommodations are seasonal, so always confirm before visiting), while major<br />
venues trade neon lights for mountain views, educational exhibits <strong>and</strong> authentic cultural experiences.<br />
Alaskan wildlife.<br />
You’ll find extreme cold <strong>and</strong> short days if you’d like, but mild weather is common too, particularly in<br />
the southeast. And, Alaska is surprisingly accessible. Direct flights link Anchorage <strong>and</strong> Fairbanks<br />
with America’s major mainl<strong>and</strong> cities, <strong>and</strong> the trip from Seattle to <strong>Juneau</strong> only takes about two hours<br />
by air.<br />
“For years, people have been going to Hawaii or traveling from the west coast to the east coast for<br />
conferences. But we’re only seven hours from Atlanta, nonstop, <strong>and</strong> once you get here it’s all worth<br />
it,” Zak says.<br />
Southeast: Inside Passage (<strong>Juneau</strong>, Ketchikan <strong>and</strong> Sitka)<br />
Tucked in the Tongass National Forest, downtown <strong>Juneau</strong> sits between the Gastineau Channel <strong>and</strong><br />
3,800-foot mountain peaks. Because the water <strong>and</strong> a 1,500-square-mile glacial ice field encircle

Alaska’s state capital, guests arrive by ferry or flight.<br />
“Just about everything people want to see on a trip to Alaska is right here in town,” says Ken Hill,<br />
convention sales manager for the <strong>Juneau</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> & <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>. “We have whale watching,<br />
the auroras in the winter, the nature that everyone wants to see, the mining history...<strong>and</strong> what really<br />
st<strong>and</strong>s out is the Alaskan Native culture. It’s such a big part of the Southeast, <strong>and</strong> it’s very accessible<br />
here.”<br />
Native <strong>and</strong> Russian relics are on display at the Alaska State Museum, <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Juneau</strong>-Douglas City<br />
Museum holds up to 285 for receptions. Each is a short walk from <strong>Juneau</strong>’s main event venue, the<br />
20,000-square-foot Centennial Hall <strong>Convention</strong> Center. Inside, the Sheffield Ballroom seats 700 for<br />
banquets, while several smaller rooms accommodate receptions <strong>and</strong> breakout affairs.<br />
Nearby, The Silverbow Inn <strong>and</strong> Westmark Baranof <strong>Juneau</strong> are among downtown properties with<br />
meeting space, while surrounding restaurants serve up local fare <strong>and</strong> are well situated for group dinearound<br />
events.<br />
Ice Cave on Mendenhall Glacier.<br />
Nature is another big Inside Passage draw. In <strong>Juneau</strong>, hop on the Mount Roberts Tramway to reach a<br />
visitor complex 1,800 feet above town (May–September only). Take a car, coach or helicopter to the<br />
Mendenhall Glacier. Embark on whale-watching, wildlife-viewing <strong>and</strong> glacier tours for up to 150<br />
with Allen Marine Tours, or customize kayak outings <strong>and</strong> glacier treks for smaller groups with Above<br />
& Beyond Alaska.<br />
Planners can get the best deals by being flexible with dates. Hill suggests booking in April <strong>and</strong> May,<br />
after the legislative season, or September <strong>and</strong> October, after the summer tourist push. “Regardless of<br />
the time of year, you’ll see something here that you wouldn’t at another destination,” he says.<br />
To the south, Ketchikan maintains its historic fishing <strong>and</strong> frontier-town feel. Walking tour maps<br />
available from the Ketchikan <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> introduce downtown, while floatplane tours <strong>and</strong> cruises<br />
explore the region <strong>and</strong> provide access to the 2.3-million acre Misty Fjords National Monument. Sportfishing<br />
opportunities abound from May to September, <strong>and</strong> vendors such as Anglers Adventures &<br />
Outfitters can assist with cleaning, processing <strong>and</strong> shipping of the day’s catch.<br />
Natural light pours through dormers in Ketchikan’s main meeting facility, the Ted Ferry Civic Center,<br />
which has a 4,500-square-foot ballroom <strong>and</strong> an adjoining 1,500-foot stage. The Cape Fox Lodge <strong>and</strong><br />
Best Western L<strong>and</strong>ing Hotel each hold up to 250 for events.

On the outer coast of the Inside Passage, winding waterways <strong>and</strong> dense forests surround scenic Sitka.<br />
Harrigan Centennial Hall overlooks Sitka Sound <strong>and</strong> houses a historical museum, wildlife display <strong>and</strong><br />
18,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. Its main auditorium holds 500. Native artifacts <strong>and</strong> traditions take<br />
center stage at the Sheet’ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi Community House, which accommodates up to 300.<br />
You’ll find plenty of spousal activities <strong>and</strong> post-trip options in Sitka, too. Start with displays that<br />
honor the region’s Native, Russian <strong>and</strong> American cultures at the Sitka National Historic Park, which<br />
includes the meticulously restored Russian Bishop’s House. Enjoy up-close access to bald eagles <strong>and</strong><br />
other birds at the Alaska Raptor Center. Hiking, ATV <strong>and</strong> boat excursions are ideal for exploring <strong>and</strong><br />
snapping photos of Mt. Edgecumbe, a dormant volcano that dominates the local skyline.<br />
Interior: Fairbanks <strong>and</strong> Denali<br />
Jennifer Jolis, director of meetings <strong>and</strong> conventions of the Fairbanks <strong>Convention</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong><br />
(explorefairbanks.com), calls Fairbanks “the jumping off place for so much of the Alaska<br />
experience.”<br />
“We have 24 hours of daylight in the summer; we have the high <strong>and</strong> low temperatures. People who<br />
come here are energized by the quality of light. It’s a very exciting place, with a spirit <strong>and</strong> warmth<br />
that set us apart,” she says.<br />
Outings here include skiing, hiking <strong>and</strong> gold panning tours, plus opportunities to watch birds, polar<br />
bears <strong>and</strong>, of course, the northern lights. PAWS for Adventure’s dog-mushing classes make for a truly<br />
memorable team-building option. Riverboat Discovery’s summertime sternwheeler cruises take guests<br />
for a leisurely trip down the Chena <strong>and</strong> Tanana Rivers.<br />
Fairbanks trades traditional convention center facilities for a selection of distinctive venues. The<br />
newest is the Morris Thompson Cultural <strong>and</strong> <strong>Visitors</strong> Center, a riverfront facility celebrating the<br />
character <strong>and</strong> citizens of Alaska’s interior. Visitor information, a theater, classroom facilities <strong>and</strong><br />
space for artisan demonstrations are among interior highlights.<br />
A 35,000-square-foot arena <strong>and</strong> 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting facilities are offered at the Carlson Center,<br />
while the University of Alaska Museum of the North holds up to 800 reception guests. A narrowgauge<br />
train, several museums, mini-golf <strong>and</strong> several restaurants surround 15,000 sq. ft. of meeting<br />
space at Fairbanks’ Pioneer Park.<br />
Of the local hotels with function rooms, several st<strong>and</strong> out with exceptional amenities. The 105-degree<br />
waters at Chena Hot Springs Resort once soothed prospectors’ sore muscles. Today, guests soak in<br />
the springs, which generate geothermal power for the resort <strong>and</strong> heat greenhouses where produce<br />
flourishes year-round. Also on-site, the Aurora Ice Museum has intricate ice sculptures <strong>and</strong> martinis<br />
served in carved ice glasses. The 30,000-square-foot Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, at the<br />
Wedgewood Resort, offers event space <strong>and</strong> a scenic location adjacent to the 75-acre Wedgewood<br />
Wildlife Sanctuary.<br />
When folks from the lower 48 think of Alaska, they often picture the diverse wildlife <strong>and</strong> majestic<br />
peaks of Denali National Park <strong>and</strong> Preserve. With herds of moose <strong>and</strong> caribou, curly-horned Dall<br />
rams <strong>and</strong> grizzly bears that feast on plump berries, plus more than 1,500 species of plants, lichens <strong>and</strong><br />
mosses, the park’s living marvels alone impress. Add to that an assortment of glaciers, lakes <strong>and</strong><br />
mountain streams, <strong>and</strong> the 20,320-foot Mt. McKinley (locally, North America’s highest peak is<br />
referred to as Denali or just “the mountain”), <strong>and</strong> you’ve got an awe-inspiring getaway.

The redesigned Eielson Visitor Center, which reopened in 2008, is one of several showcasing<br />
Denali’s history, ecology <strong>and</strong> highlights. Private vehicles are only allowed on 15 miles of the 90-mile<br />
Denali Park Road, but buses <strong>and</strong> trains make for easy exploration. A cluster of hotels sits near the<br />
park entrance, 120 miles south of Fairbanks. The McKinley Chalet Resort has 345 rooms <strong>and</strong> several<br />
dining venues. A dinner theater <strong>and</strong> outdoor hot tubs are among amenities at the 656-room Denali<br />
Princess Wilderness Lodge.<br />
Jolis says some groups fly into Anchorage <strong>and</strong> take the Alaska Railroad north, with a two- or threeday<br />
stop in Denali. Then, they end up in Fairbanks for their meeting. The train is a potential<br />
conference venue on the rails, as well.<br />
Dena’ina Civic <strong>and</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> Center, Anchorage.<br />
“We’ve had groups who got two cars on the train <strong>and</strong> had their meeting on the way up from<br />
Anchorage to Fairbanks,” says Jolis, noting that train schedules vary by season. “It’s the most<br />
incredible scenery. The railroad goes where cars don’t run.”<br />
Southcentral: Anchorage <strong>and</strong> Valdez<br />
Recently, 700 American Association of Port Authorities conference delegates were treated to a formal<br />
evening on the Alaska Railroad.<br />
“We chartered 20 rail cars with huge, panorama-view windows, <strong>and</strong> guests enjoyed a sit-down dinner<br />
as we traveled along Turnagain Arm,” says event planner Karen Zak. After dinner, attendees<br />
w<strong>and</strong>ered through entertainment cars outfitted with live music, desserts <strong>and</strong> dancing. “It was<br />
spectacular. It was the highlight of our conference.”<br />
Based at the Hilton Anchorage, the five-day convention also featured a last frontier-themed opening<br />
reception, tours <strong>and</strong> a salmon bake at the Alaska Native Heritage Center <strong>and</strong> a northern lights gala at<br />
Anchorage’s new Dena’ina Civic & <strong>Convention</strong> Center. Among the facility’s 200,000 sq. ft. of<br />
function space are a 50,000-square-foot exhibit hall, 25,000-square-foot mountain-view ballroom <strong>and</strong><br />
heated outdoor deck. The Dena’ina Center also features enclosed access to the William A. Egan<br />
<strong>Convention</strong> Center <strong>and</strong> the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, <strong>and</strong> ups the city’s convention<br />
capacity by 300%. Remarkable views <strong>and</strong> gr<strong>and</strong> art installations, including one with 660 str<strong>and</strong>s of<br />
beads <strong>and</strong> 4,000 pieces of stained glass, add to the allure.

“The new facility was designed with the idea that since attendees are in Alaska, they should see<br />
Alaska. The exhibit hall has huge windows <strong>and</strong> skylights, so there’s lots of natural light, <strong>and</strong> one<br />
whole wall of windows looks at the Chugach Mountains,” says Julie Dodds, director of convention<br />
sales for the Anchorage <strong>Convention</strong> & <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>.<br />
Guestroom at Captain Hook.<br />
A short stroll from the convention district is the 547-room Hotel Captain Cook, which recently<br />
completed $2 million in room upgrades <strong>and</strong> athletic club renovations. Nearby, the Sheraton<br />
Anchorage Hotel & Spa wrapped up a $15-million project that refreshed the business center <strong>and</strong><br />
Ptarmigan Lounge, brought new flat-screen, high-definition televisions to all guest rooms <strong>and</strong> created<br />
a new steak <strong>and</strong> seafood restaurant. The property also introduced the new 5,500-square-foot Ice Spa.<br />
A 165-room Crowne Plaza Hotel opened in Anchorage last fall.<br />
Forty miles down the road, the full-service Alyeska Resort has 15,000 sq. ft. of meeting facilities, chic<br />
chateau-style accommodations, a spa <strong>and</strong> fitness center <strong>and</strong> year-round skiing <strong>and</strong> recreation in the<br />
Chugach Mountains.<br />
Set against those same mountains in Prince William Sound, the community of Valdez is pure<br />
backcountry beauty with glaciers, waterfalls, rivers <strong>and</strong> deepwater fjords. More than 300 inches of<br />
snow blanket Valdez each winter, while the average annual snowfall doubles just 30 miles away at<br />
Thompson Pass. With the arrival of warm spring temperatures, however, hiking, white-water rafting<br />
<strong>and</strong> fishing replace skiing, snowboarding <strong>and</strong> ice climbing.<br />
The Valdez <strong>Convention</strong> & Civic Center accommodates groups of up to 450. A three-section ballroom<br />
<strong>and</strong> 487-seat theater are at the center of the 20,000-square-foot facility. Three conference rooms<br />
overlooking Port Valdez accommodate breakouts, <strong>and</strong> a commercial kitchen is available for catering.<br />
For off-site meetings <strong>and</strong> spousal activities, the Valdez Museum & Historical Archive hosts<br />
receptions <strong>and</strong> tours of exhibits exploring the gold rush, the 1964 Alaska Earthquake <strong>and</strong> the Trans-<br />
Alaska Pipeline, as well as Native culture <strong>and</strong> Alaska’s first highway. Art, artifacts <strong>and</strong> dramatic<br />
wildlife mounts fill the Maxine & Jesse Whitney Museum at Prince William Sound Community<br />
College. Pangea Adventures leads kayak trips, glacier hikes <strong>and</strong> multiday backpacking excursions in<br />
the Chugach Mountains <strong>and</strong> Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve.

Distant Destinations: Fox Isl<strong>and</strong>, Kodiak <strong>and</strong> Nome<br />
For a more edge-of-the-world experience, consider one of the state’s more secluded destinations.<br />
Southwest of Valdez, about 45 minutes from Seward by boat, Kenai Fjords Wilderness Lodge<br />
occupies prime Fox Isl<strong>and</strong> waterfront. The three-square-mile isl<strong>and</strong> in Resurrection Bay, near Kenai<br />
Fjords National Park, houses a day lodge that holds up to 300 guests <strong>and</strong> a wilderness lodge that<br />
accommodates 22 for board meetings <strong>and</strong> executive work sessions. Facilities are available between<br />
mid-May <strong>and</strong> mid-September.<br />
Small groups can sleep on the isl<strong>and</strong> in comfortable television- <strong>and</strong> telephone-free cabins. Larger<br />
conventions often overnight at the Seward Windsong Lodge, a 180-room property that recently<br />
introduced a new 120-person conference room. From there, they travel to Fox Isl<strong>and</strong> by catamaran.<br />
Popular isl<strong>and</strong> meeting packages include a lunch buffet with wild Alaskan salmon, prime rib or<br />
Alaskan King Crab, plus kayak outings, rock-skipping contests, wildlife viewing <strong>and</strong> beach combing.<br />
“Fox Isl<strong>and</strong> has a 24- to 27-foot tide change every 24 hours, so you’ll see sea stars <strong>and</strong> jellyfish<br />
washed up on shore,” says Lisa Frye, sales <strong>and</strong> marketing manager for Ciri Alaska Tourism. “It’s<br />
quite common to see river otters <strong>and</strong> sea otters. Orcas swim right along the cove <strong>and</strong> the beach.”<br />
Brown bears are the big draw on Kodiak Isl<strong>and</strong>, in the Gulf of Alaska. The Kodiak National Wildlife<br />
Refuge covers two-thirds of the isl<strong>and</strong>; the Kodiak Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>Convention</strong> & <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong> connects<br />
groups with outfitters who run bear-viewing excursions. Lush hills <strong>and</strong> bustling harbors surround this<br />
small port city, which shakes off winter with the lively Kodiak Crab Festival each May.<br />
Kodiak’s Best Western <strong>and</strong> Comfort Inn offer harbor- <strong>and</strong> river-view event rooms. Additional<br />
meeting venues here include the Fishery Industrial Technology Center <strong>and</strong> the United States Coast<br />
Guard’s Golden Anchor banquet facility.<br />
About 100 miles from the Arctic Circle, Nome is classic, remote Alaska, complete with reindeer, gold<br />
panning, Eskimo villages <strong>and</strong> more than 21 hours of daylight on the year’s longest day. The annual<br />
Iditarod sled dog race finishes here, so several small inns st<strong>and</strong> ready to host spectators <strong>and</strong> visitors<br />
who venture north to explore unspoiled wilderness. The 54-room Aurora Inn & Suites seats 50 in a<br />
600-square-foot conference room. Larger groups can book Pioneer Hall, which has a 250-person<br />
capacity.<br />
Downtown, the Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum chronicles the region’s past. Nome Discovery<br />
Tours leads excursions focused on Native culture, Gold Rush history <strong>and</strong> flora <strong>and</strong> fauna. The June<br />
Midnight Sun Festival celebrates the solstice, <strong>and</strong> the community draws avid bird watchers in July,<br />
says Mitch Erickson, head of the Nome <strong>Convention</strong> & <strong>Visitors</strong> <strong>Bureau</strong>. The bureau website suggests<br />
activities by season, directing guests to annual events, outdoor recreation, mining displays <strong>and</strong> historic<br />
l<strong>and</strong>marks.<br />
Erickson recommends visiting during the April–May <strong>and</strong> September–October shoulder seasons.<br />
“April is my favorite time here,” Erickson says. “There is no wind, we have 18 hours of sunshine <strong>and</strong><br />
it’s not so beastly cold—but it’s still below 30, so you can still go outside for snowmobiling, dog<br />
sledding, skiing <strong>and</strong> fishing for King Crab through the ice.”<br />
Freelance writer Renee Brincks lived in Iowa, Alaska, Australia <strong>and</strong> Spain before settling in<br />
California, where she writes for travel <strong>and</strong> lifestyle publications.
