Yes, Anchorage and Juneau are pretty far apart- by partial ferry trip and then by road it is more than 800 miles. By air it is an hour and 15 minutes flight and costs almost $400. Come to think of it, it may be a good deal less money than that- working for the state I used to book travel for tech trouble-shooters and that tended to be pretty much at the last minute.

Juneau is the capital of Alaska but Anchorage is by far the largest city in the state, about 700,000 residents versus about 31,000. Juneau is the third largest town, following the Fairbanks area.

It is a strange piece of land and way back in the past there was talk of making it into FOUR states!
