Girdwood Alaska:
Nestled amidst the Chugach mountains and surrounded by hanging glaciers,
Girdwood, originally named Glacier City, was founded as a gold mining town at
the turn of the century with several gold claims being staked on Crow Creek and
the Virgin and California Creek
Located 40 miles southeast of Anchorage, present day Girdwood consists of a
diverse population of outdoor enthusiasts, local businesses, services and
Anchorage commuters. Girdwood has much to offer the Alaskan visitor all
year-round. |
