Thunder Bird Falls in Anchorage, Alaska offers visitors a scenic one-mile trail leading to a majestic waterfall viewpoint. The mostly paved path features colorful mushrooms along the way and includes both a gorge overlook and boardwalk sections near the falls. While the hike is generally considered easy to moderate, visitors note that the trail can get muddy in spots and the return trek involves some uphill sections, but the stunning waterfall views make it a worthwhile outdoor destination.
