• Portage Lake Overlook - provides a breathtaking view of Portage Lake and the surrounding Chugach Mountains. Situated off Portage Glacier Road, approximately an hour’s drive south of Anchorage, this overlook offers visitors a sweeping perspective of the turquoise lake nourished by glacial melt, and on clear days, views of Portage Glacier in the distance.
• Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center - This 200-acre facility allows visitors to observe native species such as bears, moose, bison, musk oxen, elk, caribou, eagles, and wolves up close in naturalistic settings.

Visitors can walk or drive the 1.5-mile loop around the grounds, participate in guided tours, or join feeding sessions and educational talks. It’s a popular destination for families, photographers, and anyone interested in learning more about Alaskan wildlife conservation efforts.

• Beluga Point - This location is renowned for two attractions:
  ✅ Beluga whale watching — in late summer and early fall, beluga whales can often be seen swimming near the shore, pursuing salmon during the incoming tide.
  ✅ Stunning mountain and water views — it’s a favorite spot for photographers, especially at sunset, and is also excellent for spotting Dall sheep on the cliffs above.
• Potter Marsh Bird Sanctuary - This is a family-friendly, easily accessible location perfect for birdwatching, photography, and nature walks, particularly in spring and summer when the birds are most active. There’s a small parking area, interpretive signs, and binoculars are recommended for optimal viewing.
