This is stellar spot close to Anchorage to photograph the northern lights in the winter. You'll want snowshoes or xc-skis to get there and tons of warm clothing, it was -20˚F on my visit and I was the only one there.

A great hike close to Anchorage for views of the city and Cook Inlet. Hikeable in the winter with snowshoes or skis.

This is a perfect foul weather activity if you're in the area. The hand tram was amazing and not something I'm used to encountering in the U.S., I felt like I was in B.C. It does take some work to pull yourself across if you're by yourself with a lot of camera gear.
