Anchorage: Turnagain Arm Scenic Winter Tour with a Guide

Experience the Seward Highway's winter scenic beauty on a full-day tour from Anchorage to Portage Valley. Look for wildlife as you drive and visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to see bears, musk oxen, bison, and more. Before returning to Anchorage, ride the Alyeska Resort's aerial tram to the top of Girdwood Valley.

Depart from your hotel and travel south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway, one of only 13 US highways featuring the designation of an “All-American Road.” The trip will be filled with chances to stop and savor the scenery and take photos as you drive the Turnagain Arm's winding roadway to Girdwood and Alyeska Resort.

Take a tram ride to the top of Mount Alyeska for a stunning view of the glacial valley below, then continue for the short drive to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC). The AWCC is a 200-acre facility dedicated to the preservation and protection of Alaska's most iconic animals.

See moose, bears, wolves, musk ox, and more as you walk or drive the beautiful property, any time of year. After the cruise, return to Anchorage, enjoying the scenery again. End this wonderful day of exploration with a return to your hotel.
