The 20 Best Hiking in Anchorage, AK

Fresh reviews:

I’ve heard this trail wins the #4 spot for most beautiful city bike trail in the nation. I think that’s bunk. It deserves the #1 slot, hands down. After all, this is Alaska!Having been up here already a bunch of times during the winter, we came up to see it Summer 2014, the last summer before we moved here, and…

Family Friendly, Easy Hike!!!Easiest Trail I’ve encountered so far in Alaska. The beginning trail is flat and well guided, no major hills. If your looking for something easy and fun, this would be the hike for you. (Walk, in my opinion)However, once you reach the end of the trail (you’ll know) you can stop and…
