Travel south on the George Parks Highway through Matanuska-Susitna Valley, a region shaped by glacial activity and known for its fertile farmland. Then, follow the Seward Highway along Turnagain Arm, where the extreme tidal range—up to 40 feet—creates one of the world’s most dramatic bore tides. Arrive in Girdwood, home to Alaska’s only year-round resort, Alyeska, set at the foot of the Chugach Mountains. This evening, join your Travel Director for a dinner accompanied by wine, offering a chance to unwind and discuss the day’s discoveries.
