Alpine Classic Trek in Anchorage booking from $169.00

Alpine Classic Trek

Overview

Experience the thrill of ascending to heights offering 360-degree views of the nearby Cook Inlet and interior Chugach mountains. Gaze at deep, glaciated, u-shaped valleys, and giant ridge lines defining the landscape. Imagine pristine, treeless, tundra loaded with vegetation that you can touch, taste, and feel. If you have never seen alpine before, prepare to be amazed!

Alpine trekking is an incredibly unique way to see the landscape. You can see endless miles of mountainous terrain. On a clear day, we can even see Mt. Denali hundreds of miles away! Plus, once you're on top, the terrain can be fairly flat, making the trekking a truly enjoyable experience. During the tour, we may see moose, bear, Dall sheep, mountain goats, and a variety of small mammals like arctic squirrels and marmots. There are also plenty of birds to gaze at like bald eagles, thrushes, chickadees, and jays. This is one of our favorite ways to experience Alaska and the Chugach State Park.

I went 1st week of May and there were still snow on the ground and had flurries during our hike. The first 45mins up was the most challenging because it was mostly climbing but it gets easier. i strongly suggest wearing hiking boots if you don’t want to injure your ankle and if you’re hiking during the colder season, bring good gloves! I booked for a private hike tour and absolutely love the experience! Greg, knows so much about the trails and made the climb easier for someone like me who hasn’t hiked with this intensity for years. Highly recommended using Go Hike Alaska if you’re up for any adventures here in Anchorage!
