The Turnigain Shoulder lake, which feeds into the Gulf of Alaska, is named for British adventurer James Cook’s popular shipwreck. Cook had to “turn again” after converting the lake to a lost section. The city’s Turingin Arm is a very common day excursion, and it’s well worth the price of a rental car. You’ll be able to view the breathtaking views from Seward Highway as you drive through the city streets, which gradually disappear into the wilderness. There are plenty of spots to stop for photos, stunning strolls, or more intense hikes, even if you can only gaze at the opinions from your car window. Start your journey at Mile 115 and like the 11-mile Turnagain Arm Trail trek, which was first used by Northern people. Another tracks are found at Mile 112, Mile 108, and Mile 107. At Mile 117, you’ll realize Potter Marsh. It was created in 1916 by rail development, but now it boasts a beachfront ideal for skiing. My father and I sat on one of the chairs attempting to spy birds, gulls, and the native birds. The Bird Ridge Trail has a wheelchair-accessible circle at Mile 102 for those who have mobility issues. A 3500-foot neglect and a good spot for rock climbing are also present in the rougher area. Length: About 40 miles of the Seward Highway borders Turnagan Finger, starting on the fringes of Anchorage
How to get there: Vehicle or by booking a trip
When navigating the Shoulder, some people make Beluga Point their place. From the area, it takes about 30 minutes to get there.
Time to spend that: At least 2 days
