As you’re driving along Turnagain Arm towards Girdwood, you can actually see Hope on the other side of the arm, if you know what to look for. It’s a nice little village with a couple of hundred inhabitants. There are two campsites, the big one all the way through town, and a smaller one just a little bit before you get to town. It takes two to two and a half hours to get there from Anchorage. You’ll see the Hope cutoff shortly after you’ve turned south on the Seward Highway.

It’s also home to absolutely one of the best restaurants in Alaska, Tito’s Discovery Cafe. Basic “American” cooking, with a lot of local produce, and the pies are absolutely amazing.
