Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids to join the Girdwood Express ride?

A: There's no official age limit for the Girdwood Express! Kids are definitely welcome, but keep in mind that it's a shared ride, so you might want to bring some snacks and entertainment for them. The ride is about 45 minutes long, and it's pretty scenic, which might help keep them engaged!

Q: What should I wear for the ride and once we get to Girdwood?

A: Layering is key in Alaska! I’d suggest wearing comfortable clothes and a good jacket since Girdwood can be chilly even in the summer. Also, don’t forget to wear sturdy shoes if you plan to do any hiking or exploring once you get there. The ride is air-conditioned, so you might want a light sweater for that.

Q: How's the parking situation at the Girdwood drop-off point?

A: Good news! You won't need to worry about parking since the Girdwood Express drops you off right at Alyeska Resort or wherever you choose to go in Girdwood. Plus, there’s no rental car hassle or winter driving to deal with. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!

I'm considering getting this Girdwood Express experience for my brother who loves the outdoors! I heard the view along Turnagain Arm is stunning and perfect for some awesome Instagram shots. Can anyone share their experiences? What did you love most about Girdwood?

Girdwood Express: Worth it for a day trip?

I'm in Anchorage for a short trip and thinking about this Girdwood Express. Is it worth it just for a day? I want to hike and experience some local food but not sure if one day is enough. Any advice?
