Review:
The Byron Glacier Trail is one of the most family-friendly trails in Girdwood>; it is suitable for hikers of all ages and is only 1.4 miles long. You’ll go through the serene alder/cottonwood forest before heading toward the cascading whitewater creek to get up-close views of the Byron Glacier and the rugged mountains that surround it. There are so many things to see and do within the trail area, including bicycling, fishing, hunting, and picnicking as well as partaking in water and winter sports activities. Camping is also allowed there; you can choose to pitch your own tent or rent out one of the many isolated cabins scattered throughout the area.
