The terrain reaches well over 4,000 feet agl, so a good vertical rise is seen. You can pop right in by initiating a flight right at 5,000 feet agl. It is not that cold here, as it is similar to the climate in Boston. Girdwood Airport (AQY) is in a canyon valley, a very challenging place that has real Alaskan feel I was looking for.
