SUMMARY:YMCA of Alaska Summer Hikes - Thunderbird Falls Trail
DESCRIPTION:1. Location/Trailhead: Directly off the Glenn Highway between the Eklutna and Mirror Lake exits.\n2. Difficulty Rating: Easy\n3. Family Friendly: Yes\n4. Pet Friendly: Yes\n5. Where to Park: Trail head Parking lot\n6. Parking Fee: Free\n7. Meeting Spot Details (Landmark\, lot corner\, sign\, etc.): Info sign\n8. Meetup Time: 10:30am\n9. Hike Start Time: 10:45 am\nThunderbird Falls is a nice leisurely walk located along Eklutna River and Thunderbird Falls themselves. The trailhead is very easy to find directly off the Glenn Highway between the Eklutna and Mirror Lake exits. Once you reach the exit you will either cross the Eklutna River bridge (southbound) or pass Thunderbird Heights subdivision (northbound). The trail is very well maintained and is a very popular destination. It is an easy trail to hike in terms of difficulty\, landscaped with boardwalks\, handrails\, and viewpoints. The trail follows a general path and then splits off to a creek accessible trail or straight ahead to get a balcony view of Thunderbird Falls. There is the occasional opportunity to explore and capture additional views of Eklutna River\, however\, it is not encouraged as it can be dangerous in some areas. If you are looking to get close to the falls the Creekside trail is the way to go. First\, you traverse down and then follow the creek to the base of the falls. The viewpoint can be accessed by strollers.\nAs with all Alaska hikes\, dress in layers\, bring water\, snacks\, a map\, bear spray\, and a charged cell phone.
