Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and the most populous city in the northernmost US state, home to approximately 290,000 residents — nearly 40% of Alaska's total population. It operates on Alaska Standard Time (AKST, UTC-9) in winter and Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT, UTC-8) in summer. Anchorage sits at the head of Cook Inlet, surrounded by the Chugach Mountains to the east and Knik Arm to the north, creating a dramatic natural amphitheatre. Alaska is America's largest state by area (more than twice the size of Texas) and one of the world's richest in natural resources — oil from the North Slope (trans-Alaska pipeline), fishing (salmon, crab), timber, and gold. Anchorage's Ted Stevens International Airport is a major transpacific cargo hub — its location makes it an efficient stopover between North America and East Asia. The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, one of the world's most gruelling endurance events (over 1,000 miles), starts in Anchorage each March. Denali (6,190m), North America's highest peak, is accessible from the city.
