Anchorage, Alaska
Anchorage keeps a mountain park at its back door and a long coastal trail along its edge. A great deal of everyday life happens in between, and you hold your own piece of it.

Has a moose ever held up your morning ride in Anchorage, and what happened next?
Some of the best Anchorage stories are funny ones: a moose at the kitchen window, reindeer running downtown, a trail that surprised you. Your humor is part of who you are, and ToldForward keeps it in your own words rather than smoothing it out. Answer a question a day, keep it all private while you live, and pick who reads it one day.

Anchorage, Alaska
Chugach State Park lies mostly within the Municipality of Anchorage, and its western edge is only about seven miles from downtown. If you are heading up Flattop Mountain, you start from the Glen Alps Trailhead. Have you climbed it on a clear evening, or hauled a visitor up to show off the view? Tell about the trails you know by heart, the weather that surprised you and the people you walked them with.
The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail runs about 11 miles, and it is within easy reach of Kincaid Park, home to many of the city's resident moose and one of the best places in Anchorage to see them. Do you have a moose story of your own? Maybe one held up your morning ride, or wandered past the kitchen window. The funny, everyday moments of Anchorage life are often the ones the people after you will enjoy most.
Anchorage launched Fur Rendezvous in 1935, and the festival still brings sled dog races dashing through downtown and the Running of the Reindeer. How do you and your friends get through the dark months? Which events do you never miss? Write them down now, with names and little details, while they are fresh and easy to recall. Even the cold has its own stories, if you are the one to tell them.
