Travel
Flights:
You'll definitely want to fly into ANC (Ted Stevens International Airport) in Anchorage. Girdwood is about an hour from Anchorage, just for reference.
Cars:
Unfortunately, rental cars are both expensive and hard to come by in August. We have encouraged people to carpool in larger groups (renting one car instead of several) or use Turo (like Air Bnb for cars--said to be cheaper than official car rental companies).
Lodging:
If you are in a larger group, Airbnb is probably best. Please reach out to us about specific lodging-related questions. We are happy to give suggestions!
