Bird Creek to Girdwood E-Bike Adventure
5 Hours • 5'3" - 6'6"
What to Expect
Turnagain Arm is a branch of Cook Inlet leading to Girdwood from Anchorage with sweeping views of picturesque snow-capped mountains, wildlife, and oceanside vistas. This E-Bike tour takes you from our starting point at Bird Creek to Girdwood and back again along the Turnagain trail. We will cover 24 miles on easy-to-use pedal-assisted E-Bikes with opportunities to see mountain goats, Dall sheep, birds of all varieties, mountain landscapes, and Beluga whales. This tour is perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to see Alaska’s tidal areas off the beaten path and away from the crowds. This tour is 4-5 hours long, includes lunch, and rain gear as needed.
Guests should be in good health as the trail is easy to moderate.
The tour starts at Bird Creek, a popular trailhead along the Seward Highway just south of Anchorage. After a short briefing, your guide will get you set up with gear and a pedal-assist e-bike. From there, you’ll follow the paved Bird-to-Gird Trail as it winds along the shoreline, passing through forested sections, open flats, and scenic pullouts that overlook Turnagain Arm.
This route is known for its wildlife. You may see bald eagles perched near the water, Dall sheep on the cliffs, and beluga whales swimming along the shoreline. The trail is mostly flat with some gentle rolling hills, and the e-bike motor helps with any sections that require more effort. The pace is relaxed, with time built in for rest, photos, and short stops along the way.
The ride's halfway point is Girdwood, a small mountain town surrounded by peaks and trees. Once the group arrives, you’ll have time to rest, take photos, and enjoy the area before riding back to Bird Creek. The full tour lasts around 4 to 5 hours, including stops and breaks. It’s a smooth, scenic round trip that gives you a fresh way to experience Alaska’s coastline without the crowds.
