Girdwood/Cooper Landing
The leg between Girdwood and Cooper Landing takes just over an hour and is primarily through mountain passes. However, closer to Girdwood the road runs along the edge of Turnagain Arm.
Turnagain Arm has one of the most extreme tidal exchanges in the world and, if the timing is right, you might get to get a look at the Turnagain Arm bore tide; a wave that forms on the incoming tide due to a large influx of water.
Moose and the occasional black bear can be spotted along this leg, particularly getting closer to Cooper Landing.
