Thunderbird Falls Trail in Chugach State Park

The Thunderbird Falls Trail offers a delightful experience for hikers of all levels! As you stroll along the well-maintained path, you'll be surrounded by vibrant cottonwood and birch trees, and you'll enjoy stunning views of the breathtaking 200-foot waterfall cascading into the canyon below. Don't forget to take a detour to the creek for a closer look, where you might even be tempted to dip your toes in the refreshing waters. #Hiking #River #Waterfall #Forest #Nature
