Glacier Creek (Turnagain Arm)

Glacier Creek is a 10 miles long stream flowing out of the Chugach Mountains, which enters the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet near Girdwood, Alaska.

It is 4–5 miles (6.4–8.0 km) in length, heading against Raven Creek of the Eagle River drainage in a broad pass—Crow Creek Pass—about 3,550 feet (1,080 m)) feet above sea level and entering Glacier Creek from the northwest at a point 5 miles (8.0 km) from Turnagain Arm.

The gravels are similar, also, but carry less granite and do not show in the same degree the effect of glacial action.
