Located on the Sheraton Hotel Anchorage, this camera points east toward the mountains. The inbound car traffic on the left is 5th Avenue and the outbound car traffic on the right is 6th Avenue. Traffic moving left to right across the frame is on Gambell and the traffic moving right to left is on Ingra. Also visible is Merrill Field. The outbound 6th Avenue merges with the inbound 5th Avenue just short of Merrill Field and turns into the Glenn Highway.

Located on the North-West corner of the Denali Towers office building, this camera shows us a general view of Downtown Anchorage to the north-west. Visible in this picture is a residential area in the foreground, the Chester Creek Greenbelt, our downtown high-rise buildings (yes, we have some), Cook Inlet and the Knik Arm in the background. The street that runs diagonally across the picture from the middle left to the upper right of the picture is ‘A’ street. Running parallel to ‘A’ street and further left is ‘C’ street.

Extra Bonus: On a clear day, you will be able to see Mount McKinley in the distance to the right of the high-rise buildings. Mount McKinley is so tall, it is visible from Anchorage over a distance of almost 150 miles.

The Hilton Hotel roof provides this view of one of the more famous Anchorage landmarks. Mount Susitna is about 10 air miles west of Anchorage across the Cook Inlet and rises to an elevation of 4,396 feet above sea level. This mountain sits between the Chugach Range to the south of Anchorage and the Alaska Range to the north. They used a 4X telephoto lens to get you up close. Visible in the foreground is the Small Boat Dock and the Cook Inlet.

Mount Susitna is also known to most Anchorage residents as The Sleeping Lady because it looks like a sleeping maiden with her arms folded across her chest.
