The only way to get there by highway is through Canada, and there's nothing particularly direct from there to Anchorage.
Also, when the Race most recently ended in Anchorage, the finish map was at an air strip that was well outside of the city. I recall it being something like 30 miles south. after teams had tasks in the city center and on the north side, IIRC.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar pattern this time, and probably something similar to the finish a few seasons back in Honolulu.

Do you have a number for that highway through Canada to Juneau? I think most Alaskans would be seriously bewildered to find that out. You cannot drive from Juneau to anywhere, except up and down the coast a few miles.
If you are talking about the Alaska Marine Highway.....then you can reach Skagway or Haines and then take highways into the Yukon Territories and connect with the Alcan Highway, but that is by ferry service only. The Alaska Marine Highway connects Bellingham, Washington with all the major cites of SE Alaska......and to other points north and west.

I think Juneau is spectacular. I wonder if Hoonah was the elimination station?
We will have to wait and see what the final tasks were.
WRP did a good job hiding many of the tasks and places.
I love the summer scenery in Alaska.
Getting around by boat was cool too, just like the temperatures.
I love the race over all and most places.

We'd only see something once visitors were outside the country, and regain access to the internet.

Also, we don't traditionally get many spoilers from India legs.
