Experience the highlights of the Turnagain Arm! Depart from your accommodations or the Anchorage Activities Center for the scenic drive south to Girdwood, a quaint little mining-town-turned-ski-resort at the base of Mt. Alyeska. After checking in at the Girdwood Activities Center, lunch is served at the top of the tram at Mt. Alyeska with a vista of views you can only imagine until you are there. We then continue on to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center for an informative visit through the park with the largest of Alaska's wild animals. Then it's off to Portage Glacier Road for a view of several Alpine glaciers and other spectaculr scenery before returning to Girdwood and then back to Anchorage with more sites to see as time allows.
