Anchorage, AKCaffeine-o-holics will want to add Anchorage, AK, a city with 5.98 coffee shops for every 10,000 residents, to their bucket list. From on-the-go drive-up espresso shacks to the traditional brick and mortar establishments, the love for java is strong. Prefer decaf? As Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage has lots to offer aside from its coffee scene especially when it comes to outdoor adventures and wildlife. Take a guided wilderness tour complete with glacial hikes and grizzly bear sightings or opt for an ever-adventurous helicopter and dogsled tour where you can mush your way through arctic landscapes. Warm up after all that chilly fun at one of the area’s many local breweries or cider companies.Photo cred: Gina Murrow5.
