Waterfall Hikes in Alaska (AK)
to explore
Alaska's waterfalls stem from its towering coastal and interior mountain ranges — the Chugach, Alaska Range and Wrangell-St. Elias — as well as glacially carved fjords, river valleys and tundra-carved gorges along the coast and interior. Hikes range from remote, moderate backcountry routes and glacial approaches to a handful of short, accessible trails near towns and park gateways; waterflows are often glacier-fed and seasonal, and the state's vast, isolated terrain and fjord-to-icefield drops create uniquely dramatic waterfall settings.
