Indian Valley

Indian Valley is a longer, more sustained moderate hike along Turnagain Arm — roughly 6.3 miles with about 2,100 feet of gain, spread over more distance than Bird Ridge or Falls Creek's steep, short profile.

Who this suits

Guests with more time and stamina who prefer a sustained moderate grade over Bird Ridge's or Falls Creek's short, steep character.

A plan that works

Recommend for guests who want more distance and a sustained, moderate grade rather than a short, steep climb.

Drive and timing, honestly

Along the Seward Highway, Turnagain Arm. No drive time is stated — none has been measured from either property.
Half day to full day.

What we won’t promise

We cannot promise current trailhead access and open status, or current trail and creek-crossing conditions.

Practical notes

A longer, more sustained option for guests with more time and stamina.
