Wildlife
In
and around Girdwood, you may encounter some wildlife,
and I'm not talking about the Alaskan locals. Moose,
Porcupine, Wolverine, Spawning Salmon, Black Bear,
Brown Bear, Arctic ground squirrels, Ptarmigan,
and many species of migratory birds spend summers
in Girdwood and surrounding wetland areas. And,
if that's not enough, check out The
Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center , where
you can see Bears and many other Alaskan animals,
without fear.
