Leave it to Alaska to bundle life-list scenery and challenge into what amounts to a neighborhood ramble in an Anchorage exurb. On the hump to 3,550-foot Crow Pass, nab eyefuls of giant glaciers and waterfalls as you climb through bear, moose, and Dall sheep habitat. Before, fuel up on a cinnamon roll the size of a baseball mitt at The Bake Shop in Girdwood.
