Yes, Valentine\u2019s Day is here, and love is in the air. But you know what? Alaska is a great place for lovers all year round. In fact, when Mental Floss magazine<\/a> did a fun study to rank states based on indicators of romance, Alaska shined in the #1 spot with top mentions for the most B&Bs, amazing starry skies (nothing beats our Northern Lights) and fans of swoony Marvin Gaye songs. Ok, those things are great, but here\u2019s some other ideas perfect for romance and fun times in Alaska:<\/p>\n

Alaskan adventures<\/h2>\n

Breathtaking scenery in every direction sets the scene for romance and awe with everything from stunning snowcapped mountains and verdant forests to soaring eagles and majestic moose just waiting for you to capture them on a romantic walk or a photo safari.<\/p>\n

They say that nothing brings a couple closer than sharing dramatic experiences. In fact, \u201cexperiential travel\u201d is a big deal these days, where people plan adventures that focus more on actively connecting with a place or with the locals in an immersive journey, rather than the usual sight-seeing. Some ideas for experiential travel in Alaska include watching grizzly bears feast on salmon, or eagles soaring and diving all around. Want a peek of what that would be like? Check out this video<\/a> of nearby Katmai National Park<\/p>\n

The scenery in Alaska isn\u2019t just great on the ground \u2013 we\u2019ve also got the Northern Lights. Anchorage’s bright starry nights are nature\u2019s magical backdrop, perfect for romance. The Aurora Borealis shows off with vibrant blues, pinks, greens and yellows dancing in the sky and making for some pretty romantic moments. Fall, winter and spring are the prime seasons for viewing the Northern Lights, and the best displays are often near midnight on cloudless nights. Want a sneak peek?

Romantic getaways<\/h2>\n

Tucked amid the Chugach Mountains on Alaska’s southcentral coast, Alyeska Resort is located just 40 miles from Anchorage and a popular destination for both summer and winter getaways. In fact, they even have a special \u201cRomance Package\u201d that includes deluxe accommodations, a bottle of chilled Veuve Clicquot Ros\u00e9 Champagne, gourmet chocolate treats and late check out time. There\u2019s also a spa on site where couple massages and pampering packages will definitely spoil you.<\/p>\n

For the foodies<\/h2>\n

Staring into each other\u2019s eyes across a table over a delicious meal, or enjoying a glass of wine or local brew is another popular activity that couples enjoy in Alaska. Local brewers will tell you that the clean clear Alaska water is the secret for the high quality and popularity of our local breweries. And nearby Anchorage wineries offer surprising varietals, ice wines, and offerings made with local fruits fun for tastings. Here\u2019s a great resource<\/a> listing wineries and breweries in the Anchorage area. And when it comes to fine dining, check out this list of the 10 best romantic restaurants in the Anchorage<\/a> area by Trip Advisor.<\/p>\n

We love February and Valentine\u2019s Day \u2013 and we\u2019re happy to share with you how much Alaska loves it too with so many things to do and see for people in search of romance and adventure. If you would like to learn more, there\u2019s a lot of great information we can share about our community here in the Anchorage, Eagle River, Palmer and Wasilla area, as well as advice and tips for traveling, food, great locations and living in Alaska.
