Originally called "Glacier City" for the icy behemoths that rim the surrounding mountains, Girdwood, Alaska began as a gold-mining town in 1900 when James Girdwood hit pay dirt in Crow Creek. The '64 Quake sunk Girdwood into Turnagain Arm, and it was moved two miles further inland where it's nestled today in an idyllic valley next to Alaska's premier ski area, Mt. Alyeska. With fine dining and luxury accommodations, Girdwood is an ideal base camp for exploring the Prince William Sound and the Kenai Peninsula.
