Things To Do
Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop
Brennan and I love swinging by this bakery on lazy sunday mornings or before running errands. It's on of Anchorage's few indoor markets equipped with a plant store, bakery, bodega, and local produce.
Winner Creek Trail, Girdwood
Start out below the base of the aerial tram at Alyeska Resort, and follow the boardwalks and trails to the sound of rushing water. At around 2.5 miles, bridges cross a scenic gorge perfect for photos. The trail continues on to Glacier Creek. Once the site of a hand-pulled tram suspended high over the mountain creek, the trail currently ends here. A bridge to replace the hand tram scheduled to be built in 2024. There's no current connection to the trail at the far side, but once the bridge is built and ready for users, the trail continues out to Crow Creek Mine and even links up with the Historic Iditarod Trail, the traditional route for travel between Seward and Nome before rail and road.
Mt. Baldy Trailhead
Explore this 2.7-mile loop trail near Eagle River, just north of Anchorage. Mount Baldy Trail is considered a moderately challenging route and is a very popular area for hiking, snowshoeing, and running. Enjoy a more leisurely hike up Baldy by following the switchbacks or get an endorphin rush and take the trail straight up to the peak. Once you are above the plant growth, the trail starts to climb moderately through somewhat rocky terrain. The view from the top of Mt Baldy and along the trail is of Eagle River and Knik Arm.
