Good hiking location and nice trails. We did not come prepared to do the full length and only went about a third of a mile. Many locals and one said ge regularly sees bears here. We saw the bears in the video, on the way out (sow and cub).
Perfect day trip. Lots of places to explore.
Here's one of many roadside viewpoints with trails through the forest. There's a view of Turnagain Arm with restrooms and a large parking lot. While it seemed to go into the forest and up the hillside, we didn't hike the trail.

Such a beautiful stop on our visit to Anchorange. Although we weren't in the mood to hike a distance, the spot was beautiful, there was a wonderful picnic table on the hill to enjoy it, and the facilities were clean, easy access and those …

Love this place. Nice view of the Inlet from the middle level parking area. Clean restrooms. Picnic tables. Big mama moose walked by. A big group of Asian visitors were …
Do not bring food here. Bears frequent the area and will be interested in anything yummy you have.
