America’s most northerly national forest. This stunning landscape stretches across southcentral Alaska, from the salty waters and snowy peaks of Prince William Sound to the fabulous salmon and trout streams of the Kenai Peninsula, covering an area the size of New Hampshire. It is one of the few places left in the world where glaciers still grind valleys into the hard rock of the earth.
According to the Chugach National Forest Avalanche Center, the avalanche danger in the mountains surrounding Girdwood all the way down to the Lost Lake recreation area remains incredibly high.
