Fat Tire Biking in Chugach State Park Tour

Overview

Explore beyond Anchorage with a knowledgeable local guiding the way. Drive just 30 minutes to reach the Flattop Scenic Overlook in Glen Alps, where you'll find yourself 2,000 feet above Anchorage and the Cook Inlet, offering breathtaking views. After getting fitted for a bike and helmet, embark on an adventure into the mountains. The trail is a wide double track of dirt and gravel, making this a non-technical mountain bike ride, great for anyone who enjoys adventure and knows how to ride a bike.

As you venture into the wilderness, learn about the natural and human history of the Chugach Mountains. Look for wildlife such as moose, bears, ptarmigan, and Dall sheep inhabiting the valley floor and mountain slopes. Leave the city behind as you steadily bike up and out of the valley floor, enjoying the panoramic views along the way. Enjoy the fast and fun ride back to the starting point after taking a break to soak in the sounds of marmots, songbirds, and the babbling creek.

We recently went on a trail biking tour with Bryan and it was fantastic! He was super well-prepared with all the right gear, snacks, and water. He explained how to operate the bikes very thoroughly and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time, even the beginners. Bryan took us to the most beautiful valley and made sure we stopped at all of the most scenic spots. He was easy-going and knew a ton about the surrounding nature and wildlife, sharing cool facts and stories along the way. He even repaired a tire on the road with ease! If you are looking for a great trail biking adventure, I highly recommend Bryan.

Despite the rain, we had a wonderful morning biking in the Chugach mountains thanks to our excellent guide, Brian. He was so knowledgeable and informative about the surrounding area and beyond. We felt safe at all times while enjoying a scenic, challenging bike ride. Thank you Brian!

This was a really fun Mountain Bike tour (not e-bike). We drove about 25 minutes from Downtown Anchorage SE to what I believe is the Glen Alps Overlook Trail. Our tour guide Michael was excellent and very familiar with the area, as well as the nature facts that he shared with us. The bikes were in excellent condition and perfectly suited for the trails we went on. This was my first time on a mountain bike tour so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It was great exercise and a gorgeous setting, but this was not overly challenging (I would not have wanted it to be). Any capable bike rider could handle this tour. Note that even though the weather was warm and dry, our clothes did get somewhat splattered and wet due to many puddles along the trail from runoff water from the mountains. (So it isn’t like your local park which would be dry if it hasn’t rained in a while). We walked the bikes through a bit of snow in places, so I would recommend hiking boots or old sneakers on the ride. Overall, it was a phenomenal day with gorgeous views and a great guide.
