Point Woronzof Park is a scenic overlook on the edge of Anchorage, Alaska, at Point Woronzof Drive. It is a simple place to stop and look out, and it suits a short visit as much as a longer one.
What you can see
- Wide views across Cook Inlet
- The skyline of downtown Anchorage
- Denali, the great mountain, on clear days
Visibility depends on the weather, so a clear day gives the best chance of seeing the mountain.
Why visitors come
The park is a popular place to watch the sunset over the inlet. It is also a good spot to watch aircraft taking off from nearby Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, which makes it a pleasant stop for anyone interested in planes or simply enjoying the activity of the sky.
Because it is an overlook rather than a built attraction, the visit is unhurried. You arrive, take in the view, and carry on with your day.
Around the park
Point Woronzof sits within easy reach of downtown Anchorage, so it can be paired with a walk through the city centre or a meal afterwards. Plan your visit around the weather and the time of day, particularly if you hope to see the mountain or the sunset.
