The Girdwood Trails Committee Roster & Focus

The Girdwood Trails Committee is a dedicated advisory group reporting directly to the Girdwood Board of Supervisors (GBOS). They manage, maintain, and enhance the valley's multi-use trails, ensuring compliance with the Girdwood Valley Trails Management Plan.

Summer Multi-Use Trail Networks

Key summer trails include the paved Girdwood Bike Path (running parallel to the Alyeska Highway), the Moose Meadows loops, and the Bird-to-Gird coastal pathway. These trails are perfect for walking, running, and casual cycling.

Trail Etiquette & Wildlife Safety

Always yield to uphill hikers, keep dogs under control, and respect private property boundaries. Girdwood's forests are home to moose and bears; maintain a safe distance and never feed any wildlife.
