Answer 4

Moose, salmon, bears, eagles, and the Iditarod Dog Sled Race. Here is an interesting fact to wow your guests. Mt. McKinley is the highest mountain in the Northern Hemisphere. We are lucky enough to have it located in our little valley (size of West Virginia) which is called Matanuska-Susitna. Our valley has been designated a flood zone. So, if you were to build a home on the tippy top of Mt. McKinley....you would need flood insurance! Good luck to you.
