Hikes

The Finest Hiking in the Chugach National Forest

Our B&B is located next to the Chugach National Forest and we would like to share our passion for hiking the great trails around the Girdwood area with you. Girdwood is located in the northernmost temperate rainforest and you can hike beneath the dense spruce and hemlock canopy or work your way up above tree line to the alpine meadows and the many wildflowers and views of the Mountains. This is Chugach National Forest hiking at its best.

Hiking is a great way to experience and see Alaska. We find most of our guests don't hike because of a lack of experience hiking in a wilderness environment and fear of the wildlife such as bears and moose that populate our area. Michelle and Ron are experienced hikers in the region and can help suggest hikes to your ability, relatively flat hikes which let you feel part of the rain forest or very strenuous hikes that get you up to a Pass with beautiful alpine meadows and great views of the surrounding mountains.

If you are interested in learning more about hikes while staying in Girdwood, please make an inquiry by email to michelletenny@gmail.com
