From its early days as a gold mining town, Girdwood has developed into a sought-after residence and premier resort destination. With a population of nearly 2,000 people, Girdwood has come a long way in its short history. Walking down its streets, Girdwood brings to mind any number of small towns, but its unique location and rugged terrain provide residents and visitors with endless hours of activities throughout the year.
During the summer months, enjoy such recreational opportunities as rafting, fishing, golfing, glacier hiking and paragliding. The winter months are reserved for skiing and snowboarding. Even if you have never participated in these activities, many tour operators offer guidance to new enthusiasts. Tourism is a large part of the economy in Girdwood, and many businesses and services cater to out-of-town guests.
