Alaskology

About the blog: Alaska is a wonderful and fascinating place. Whether its backcountry hiking, coastline kayaking or dining on a downtown deck, there truly is something for everyone. This blog picks up where the annual Daily News Visitors' Guide leaves off. The guide is published in late April, but that's just when summer fun starts heating up. Throughout the year, we hope to give readers a look at Alaska through local eyes. The blog also serves as a calendar of what's going on, a place to look for some outstanding vacation deals and other cool stuff. We invite your comments and your questions. E-mail me at alaskology@adn.com.
About me: I live in Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, and I'm the special sections editor at the Anchorage Daily News. My wife and I have been Alaska residents since 2000 and never plan to leave.

Finding Falls Creek ... finally

Falls Creek is a series of tumbling waterfalls just off the Seward Highway south of Anchorage.
After eight years in Alaska you'd think I would have discovered all the great hiking spots close to Anchorage.

You'd be wrong.

First off, I have a job and other responsibilities, so I don't get to spend every waking moment exploring trails or trail-less areas. But sometimes one of those great spots just keeps getting passed by.

That was the case with the Falls Creek Trail until last weekend. Gina and I were in Girdwood on Saturday. Gina was the guest artist for the Community Mural. On our way home, we wanted to let Beezil get out and stretch her legs a bit, so I pulled the car off the Seward Highway and into the small parking lot.

Then we started up the trail -- up being the key word. As with most hikes that start along the Seward Highway, the trail went up quickly.

Gina took our little outing along the Falls Creek Trail a bit further, finding her way onto a tree stretched across the creek. She managed to stay dry despite her precarious perch.

But not all those trails follow a beautiful waterfall. That's what made this one so nice. We didn't have the time to make it the 2.5 miles to Falls Creek Tarn or on to South Suicide Peak.

The good news is that gives us a reason to go back -- soon.

How to get there: Falls Creek Trail starts at Mile 105.6 Seward Highway south of Anchorage. There is a small parking lot on the north side of the highway about one mile past Windy Corner.
