Girdwood Photos

Originally called "Glacier City" for the icy behemoths that rim the surrounding mountains, Girdwood, Alaska began as a gold-mining town in 1900 when James Girdwood hit pay dirt in Crow Creek. The '64 Quake sunk Girdwood into Turnagain Arm, and it was moved two miles further inland where it's nestled today in an idyllic valley next to Alaska's premier ski area, Mt. Alyeska. With fine dining and luxury accommodations, Girdwood is an ideal base camp for exploring the Prince William Sound and the Kenai Peninsula.

The Hotel Alyeska

Located just 40 miles from Anchorage in the resort town of Girdwood, the Hotel Alyeska pairs world-class accommodations with Alaskan wilderness. This AAA-rated 4-diamond hotel (the only one in the state) sits tucked amid the Chugach Mountains on Alaska's south-central coast, with a backdrop of glaciers, bald eagles, and towering spruce trees. Outside the hotel, the resort staff has done a wonderful job with the hotel's mountainside landscaping, including a small pond and plenty of flowers. It's great place for a short walk, or to start your hike on Winner Creek trail, which is just beyond the tram building.
