The Bird Ridge Trail climbs sharply from the Seward Highway to gain glorious views across the Turnagain Arm and the surrounding mountains. It's a strenuous hike that's sure to blow away the cobwebs. Thanks to its south-facing nature, it is one of the first trails in the region to dry out in spring, making it a good early season objective.
