Default Anchorage, AK or Prescott, AZ for young family?

We are deciding between Anchorage, Alaska and Prescott, Arizona for our new home.

The job offers in both places are equally great, stable, long-term, middle class positions.

We would welcome comments on raising girls, in both locations.

Our children are young, 6 and 3. Any thoughts about raising kids in Anchorage compared to Prescott?

Wow that is two different worlds you might say, the girls will have experiences up here in Alaska that they won't experience in AZ. My kids 28 + 30 were both raised up here from birth both had an opportunity to leave and didn't, well for a short time my daughter moved to AZ after 5 years she came back.

Just a side note the sun is better on your skin up here, I have two sisters both from the lower 48's they both look at least 10 years older than me, but they only 1 and 2 years older.

It would be a hard choice to make thou I've been to Prescott and really liked it there,
another thing to consider is the income tax their's are pretty high we don't have any.
