Here is a fun list of restaurants with great views. By no means is this list comprehensive, nor would I rank these the “best.” But, these restaurants do have great views. I have dined at two of them over the years — the Edgewood Restaurant on Lake Tahoe and Seven Glaciers in Alyeska, Alaska. They both certainly have great views.

In the winter of 1993 Alyeska Resort was a cluster of low condos and single-family vacation homes at the base of what could generously be called a rustic ski resort. Today, around the bend from the old resort base area stands what is arguably Alaska’s most luxurious resort.

There is one indoor experience that every visitor to Alaska should explore — the Anchorage Museum. This stunning building and its even more impressive collection of Alaska artifacts and art provides a spiritual and historic canvas upon which to better understand the human side of this amazing state of nature.

The morning in Anchorage was gray, very gray. We were scheduled to fly out of Lake Hood, the world’s busiest float plane base, for a flightseeing tour of Alaska’s tundra, a couple of glaciers and their milky lakes. When we arrived at the lake, Rust’s Flying Service told us our flight was fine and would take off in about a half-hour.

I just flew from Washington, DC, to Alaska. It was 10 hours more or less on JetBlue taking their brand new flight from Longbeach to Anchorage. The sun never set. We arrived at dusk/dawn and downtown Anchorage was still hopping at midnight with pulsing nightlife encircled by a magical ring of dramatic mountains.
