High tide on the Turnagain Arm as seen from Seward Highway. Turnagain Arm has the second highest tides in North America after the Bay of Fundy. These tides, which can reach 40 feet come in so quickly that they produce a wave known as a bore tide. Adventurous kayakers and surfers have taken to riding the tide as an extreme sport. Hikers should not get stuck in the quicksand-like mudflats that otherwise make up the beaches along Turnagain Arm.

A trail into Anchorage's Earthquake Park. The trail which goes down from the road was once a hill full of houses that slid into Cook Inlet after the 1964 quake.
