Thunderbird Falls is a cascade waterfall in Alaska with a documented drop of 100 ft (30 m).
The falls are fed by Thunderbird Creek. You'll find it in Anchorage Municipality, Alaska. It is protected within Alaska State Parks (Chugach State Park).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Eklutna, the closest town.
When to go: Late spring through fall; freezes into blue ice columns in winter. Like most waterfalls, Thunderbird Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
