Where can I store luggage in Anchorage?

Anchorage is where Alaska's wilderness meets actual city life. Nearly half of the state's population lives here, and the city sits in a stunning spot between the Chugach Mountains and Cook Inlet. You can be downtown at a craft brewery one hour and watching a moose on a hiking trail the next. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail runs 11 miles along the coast right from downtown, with views of Denali on clear days. Flattop Mountain is a popular hike that starts just 20 minutes from the city centre. This is not your average American city.

The Anchorage Museum is one of the best museums in the state, covering Alaska Native cultures, Arctic science and contemporary art. Ship Creek runs right through downtown and is a famous spot for urban salmon fishing in summer. The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center is about 45 minutes south on the Seward Highway and has bears, moose, bison and other rescued animals. Glaciers are a day trip away, whether it's Portage Glacier, Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords, or a boat tour on Prince William Sound.

Anchorage is a hub city. Most visitors pass through here on their way to Denali, the Kenai Peninsula, or a cruise. That means a lot of people have bags at the wrong time. BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Anchorage inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, and go hit the trail or the museum. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Anchorage

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Anchorage is Alaska's gateway city. Over two million visitors come through every summer for cruises, national park trips, fishing, wildlife viewing and glacier tours. The city itself has plenty to keep you busy for a day or two, but most people are also dealing with connections, layovers, or the gap between checkout and their next adventure. Hauling a full suitcase down the Tony Knowles Trail or through the Anchorage Museum is nobody's idea of a good time.

Where to find luggage storage in Anchorage

Our BagDrop network covers the areas where visitors spend the most time. Here's where you'll find us:

Downtown Anchorage

Downtown Anchorage runs along 4th and 5th Avenues with restaurants, shops, the Anchorage Museum, and the Log Cabin Visitor Center. It's compact and walkable, with good food and a solid craft beer scene. The Saturday Market in summer has local vendors and food stalls. The sidewalks are wide enough, but rolling luggage past moose warning signs and into restaurants gets awkward. Drop your bags at a BagDrop and enjoy downtown properly.

Tony Knowles Coastal Trail

The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is an 11-mile paved path that runs from downtown along the coast to Kincaid Park. The views of Cook Inlet, the Alaska Range and Denali (on clear days) are stunning. You'll see joggers, cyclists, and occasionally a moose or two. The trail is flat and well-maintained, but it's still a trail. Leave your bags at a BagDrop downtown before heading out.

Ship Creek

Ship Creek runs through the north edge of downtown and is one of the few places in the world where you can catch salmon in an urban setting. King salmon run in June and silver salmon in August. The creek area also has a viewing platform and a few shops. If you're casting a line, you definitely don't want a suitcase at your feet.

Anchorage Museum

The Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center is the cultural anchor of the city. It has an excellent Alaska Native gallery, Arctic science exhibits, a planetarium, and rotating art shows. The museum is downtown on C Street and you could easily spend half a day inside. Bags would just get in your way at the coat check and through the galleries.

Flattop Mountain and Chugach State Park

Flattop Mountain is the most-climbed peak in Alaska, and the trailhead is about a 20-minute drive from downtown. The hike is moderate with incredible 360-degree views from the top. Chugach State Park borders the entire eastern edge of Anchorage with hundreds of miles of trails. You're going to want daypack weight, not suitcase weight. Store your bags in town first.

Other luggage storage options in Anchorage

Here's a look at what else is out there so you can pick what works for your trip.

Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC)

ANC is Alaska's main airport and the arrival point for most visitors. The airport doesn't currently offer public luggage storage lockers. If you've got a layover or a gap before your next flight, a BagsAway BagDrop downtown is about 15 minutes away by rideshare.

Alaska Railroad depot

The Alaska Railroad runs scenic routes from Anchorage to Denali, Fairbanks and Seward. The depot in downtown Anchorage doesn't have luggage storage for the public. If you're waiting for your train, a nearby BagDrop lets you explore the city instead of sitting at the station.

Hotel storage

Most Anchorage hotels will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after checkout. During peak summer season, hotels are busy and front desk staff are stretched. BagsAway gives you a guaranteed, insured option without relying on hotel availability.
