Girdwood/Portage Tour
Day Tour
 Spend your day enjoying the Girdwood and Portage Valleys. You will travel along the breathtaking Turnagain Arm, famous for its unusual bore tide. This drive has been voted one of the Top Ten Most Scenic Drives in America by Conde Nast Magazine. Watch for eagles, Dall sheep and moose. You’ll visit Portage where the 1964 earthquake caused the land to drop between 6 and 12 feet along the Turnagain Arm. High tides flooded the area, forcing the estimated 50 to 100 residents of Portage to move. Rustic old buildings and Ghost Forests are visible signs of remains by the invading saltwater. You will explore Big Game Alaska; Alaska’s only drive-through wildlife viewing exhibit.
  This will be your opportunity to capture a glimpse of reindeer, buffalo, elk, musk ox, moose, bear, eagles, or a Sitka blacktail deer. You will then travel down Portage Glacier Road into Portage Valley. Glaciers from an earlier period carved the steep mountain slopes in this magnificent valley. Explorer Glacier can be seen high on the mountain. A stop will be made at the Begich Boggs Visitor Center to see the glaciology exhibits and enjoy a 20-minute film, “Voices of the Ice”. You will also have the opportunity to take pictures of glacial ice that has calved into Portage Lake. Then you’re off to Girdwood for your Alyeska Tramway ride as it ascends Mt. Alyeska to 2,300 feet above the valley floor.
