This is a worthwhile place to visit if staying in Anchorage. It is definitely a tourist destination but be smart and wear hiking boots or good sneakers if you plan on hiking the mountain. If you choose not to hike it, the drive up and parking area still offers gorgeous views of the city and inlet.

If staying in Anchorage for a while, be sure to take a 45 minute drive down the Turnagain Arm, south on the Seward Highway. Stop in Girdwood to check out the ski resort (Alyeska) and the quaint brewery and restaurants- or plan a hike on Winners Creek trail.

Really gorgeous place to visit. It’s a little over an hour drive north of Anchorage. A perfect day trip. There is a gold mining museum and lots of hiking trails. Gold Cord Lake trail is a relatively short and easy to moderate hike, with a beautiful alpine lake for a reward at the top.

About a 45 minute drive north of Anchorage. Great place to walk around or sit and have a picnic. On a hot day- the extremely cold lake is refreshing.
