Mountain View Sports Center, Anchorage

The rustic timbered A-frame over the entrance to Mountain View Sports Center hints at the bounty of rugged winter wear, hunting gear, and camping equipment found inside. Hunters bag prize prey with guns and scopes from brands such as Browning and Winchester, or pull fish from clear mountain streams with professional-grade fly, spinning, and casting rods from G.Loomis and Shimano. Longer outdoor excursions benefit from tents, campsite cookware, and warm garments from labels such as Arc’teryx, Mountain Hardwear, and Patagonia. Shoppers can consult the knowledgeable staff for gear suggestions or pick up new fishing, hunting, or bear-hugging licenses before heading out on their next trailblazing adventures.
