Guided Nature Hike in Girdwood, Alaska

The Winner Creek Trail, (part of the Historic Iditarod Trail), in the lush Rainforest of Girdwood is a wonderful hike and a memorable experience for everyone. A guided hike with an Ascending Path is different from hiking the trail on your own; our naturalist guides are knowledgeable, funny and will explain at least 3 things you have never heard before!!

Rainforest in Alaska?!

Passing through North America's Northern most rainforest, The Winner Creek trail has gentle, graded, maintained sections with boardwalks as well as plenty of rugged, rooty sections of trail.

This 5 mile "out and back" hike takes about 2-3 hours and includes: rain gear (if necessary), a snack, natural interpretation, bear protection and a friendly guide. Trips start and finish from our Yurt at the Hotel Alyeska.
Your naturalist guide will point out and discuss the flora and fauna of North America's northern-most temperate rainforest. You may even see a moose or a bear!

During Blueberry season, the trail is blooming with scrumptious delights sure to please anyone. Please bring sturdy footwear, water, your camera and appropriate clothing.
