Chugach State Park's 3000-foot mountains jut up on your left. On the right, the sprawling, sometimes four-mile-wide flats of Turnagain Arm seem to stretch like a plain to the opposite shores of Cook Inlet, where mammoth sloping mountains abruptly stop their flat expanse. Each turn reveals another scenic wonder.

The Roundhouse at Alyeska

Only mountain top museum in the state of Alaska. The Roundhouse sits 2,280 feet above sea level. It's distinctive octagonal shape first served as a warming hut, later as a popular gathering place. Over 50 years ago, 11 Girdwood residents passed the hat, raised enough money to purchase what became the land base for a major ski area. They formed the Alyeska Ski Corporation and developed a ski area that was small in assets but big in promise. They did it because they understood that the Valley’s future lay in its golden slopes. They found a French Baron who shared their dream. Francois de Gunzburg installed a poma lift, built ski trails, a day lodge and ordered Chair 1, a 5,700-foot double chairlift that rose 2,000 vertical feet. The upper terminus of the chairlift became known as the Roundhouse.

Анкоридж

Обзорная экскурсия по Анкориджу: Начиная с центра города, где город начинался в районе Шип-Крик, а теперь также занят железнодорожным депо Аляски. Взгляните на лосося в ручье и понаблюдайте за рыбой, бегущей вверх по течению. Наблюдайте за местными жителями, пытающимися поймать лосося. Затем посмотрите на Парк землетрясений, который теперь стоит на земле, превратившейся в жидкость, поглотив береговую линию, когда землетрясение в Страстную пятницу потрясло Анкоридж в марте 1964 года. Затем вы увидите озеро Худ, которое является самой большой и загруженной базой гидросамолетов в мире. Озеро Худ — отличное место, чтобы расслабиться и понаблюдать за взлетами и посадками гидросамолетов. Затем вернитесь в центр города, где вы сможете увидеть весь центр города. Наслаждаясь поездкой, обязательно обратите внимание на знаменитые цветы Анкориджа и отличные торговые районы! Мы высадимся в любом месте Анкориджа после окончания тура.

26

Ручной привод Turnagain

К югу от Анкориджа шоссе Сьюард обнимает впечатляющие береговые линии Тернагейн-Арм, возможно, одного из самых красивых участков шоссе в Америке. Слева от вас возвышаются 3000-футовые горы государственного парка Чугач. Справа раскинувшиеся, иногда четырехмильные равнины рукава Тернагейн, кажется, тянутся, как равнина, к противоположным берегам залива Кука, где гигантские покатые горы резко обрывают свое плоское пространство. Каждый поворот открывает еще одно живописное чудо.

27

Центр охраны дикой природы Аляски

Посмотрите на самых известных животных Аляски вблизи в естественной обстановке. Во время этого визита вы получите отличные фотографии настоящих живых медведей, лосей, овцебыков, карибу, бизонов и многих других.

28

Птичий заповедник Поттер-Марш

Поттер Марш — это деревянный дощатый настил длиной 0,8 мили, который проходит параллельно шоссе Сьюард в Анкоридже и известен невероятным наблюдением за дикой природой, особенно за птицами. Он является частью 16-мильного прибрежного заповедника дикой природы Анкориджа и является отличным дополнением к любому маршруту Анкориджа.

29

Белуга Пойнт

Это популярная остановка, когда вы путешествуете по шоссе Сьюард. Здесь вы найдете 180-градусный вид на рукав Тернагейн. Имеется обширная смотровая площадка с зрительными трубами и интерпретирующими знаками. Это отличное место для наблюдения за бурным приливом. Прилив растянулся на всю ширину рукава Тернагейн и может достигать шести футов в высоту. Наблюдайте за каякерами и серферами, плывущими по волне на несколько миль. Ищите белух, катающихся в прибое. Обязательно ознакомьтесь с расписанием приливов, чтобы узнать, когда лучше всего наблюдать за этим природным явлением.

30

Гирдвуд

Гирдвуд является «одним из 10 самых красивых городов Аляски» и расположен всего в 25 милях к югу от Анкориджа. Очень активное сообщество, предлагающее катание на велосипеде, катание на лыжах, рафтинг, рыбалку, походы, промывку золота и осмотр достопримечательностей в красивом северном тропическом лесу. В Ледниковой долине находится единственный крупный горнолыжный курорт Аляски, Alyeska Resort.

31

Горнолыжный курорт Алеска

Совершите трех-семиминутную живописную поездку от курорта Алеска до вершины горы Алеска. На высоте 2300 футов вы увидите морозный вид на рукав Тернагейн, до семи «висячих» ледников и бесконечные пики в глубине горного хребта Чугач. Включен горячий обед, который вы можете заказать из меню Boretide Deli.

32

Круглый дом на Алиеске

Единственный горный музей в штате Аляска. Roundhouse находится на высоте 2280 футов над уровнем моря. Его отличительная восьмиугольная форма сначала служила хижиной для обогрева, а затем популярным местом сбора. Более 50 лет назад 11 жителей Гирдвуда сдали шляпу и собрали достаточно денег, чтобы купить то, что стало базой земли для крупной горнолыжной зоны. Они сформировали Alyeska Ski Corporation и создали горнолыжную зону, которая была небольшой по активам, но многообещающей. Они сделали это, потому что понимали, что будущее Долины лежит в ее золотых склонах. Они нашли французского барона, который разделил их мечту. Франсуа де Гинцбург установил подъемник Poma, построил лыжные трассы, дневной домик и заказал Chair 1, двойной кресельный подъемник длиной 5700 футов, который поднимался на 2000 футов по вертикали. Верхняя конечная остановка кресельного подъемника стала известна как Roundhouse.

The Roundhouse at Alyeska

Only mountain top museum in the state of Alaska. The Roundhouse sits 2,280 feet above sea level. It's distinctive octagonal shape first served as a warming hut, later as a popular gathering place. Over 50 years ago, 11 Girdwood residents passed the hat, raised enough money to purchase what became the land base for a major ski area. They formed the Alyeska Ski Corporation and developed a ski area that was small in assets but big in promise. They did it because they understood that the Valley’s future lay in its golden slopes. They found a French Baron who shared their dream. Francois de Gunzburg installed a poma lift, built ski trails, a day lodge and ordered Chair 1, a 5,700-foot double chairlift that rose 2,000 vertical feet. The upper terminus of the chairlift became known as the Roundhouse.

Anchorage

City Tour of Anchorage: Starting downtown where the city began in the Ship Creek area and now also occupied by Alaska Railroad Depot. Take a quick look at the salmon in the creek and watch the fish running up the stream. Watch the locals trying to catch the salmon. Next see the Earthquake Park, which now stands on the land liquefied – swallowing the coast line when the “Good Friday” earthquake rocked Anchorage in March of 1964. Next you will get to see Lake Hood, which is the largest and busiest floatplane base in the world. Lake Hood is a great place to relax and watch the many landings and takeoffs of floatplanes. Then back to downtown where you get to see a whole downtown area. While enjoying the ride make sure to notice Anchorage’s famous flowers and great shopping areas! We will drop off anywhere in Anchorage after the tour ends.

Turnagain Arm Drive

Just south of Anchorage, the Seward Highway hugs the dramatic shorelines of Turnagain Arm, arguably one of the most beautiful stretches of highway in America. Chugach State Park's 3000-foot mountains jut up on your left. On the right, the sprawling, sometimes four-mile-wide flats of Turnagain Arm seem to stretch like a plain to the opposite shores of Cook Inlet, where mammoth sloping mountains abruptly stop their flat expanse. Each turn reveals another scenic wonder.
