Thunderbird Falls is an easy hike near Eklutna just off the Glenn Highway. At just one mile to the falls, it makes for a perfect outing with kids, visitors, or anyone wanting to slip into the woods for a quick respite. The trail winds past houses the first half mile or so, and leads to a deck from where you can see the falls. Continue down a short but steep section to the creek to see the waterfall up close. The trail can be icy and treacherous in the winter, but during summer you can walk close enough to the falls to feel the spray.
