Virgin Creek Falls

Area: Girdwood

Travel Fee: $63

Dense and lush in its magical forest vibes, this beautiful, rushing waterfall is only about a 5 minute walk from the car. Downside is, it's now a pretty popular location and we likely won't have the place to ourselves for long (although in the winter it seems to stay a little quieter). Upside is it's a pretty iconic Alaskan "hidden" gem. No bathrooms, parking is limited to the cul-de-sac where the road ends at the trailhead.
