Fat Tire Biking in Chugach State Park Tour

Overview

Go above and beyond Anchorage and get into the mountains with a local leading the way. Drive 30 minutes to the the Flattop Scenic Overlook in Glen Alps. Get acquainted with the landscape as you are now 2,000 feet up looking over Anchorage and the Cook Inlet. From the viewpoint, your guide will point out points of interest that can be see from here. Your guide will fit you for a bike and helmet, then the group will head into the mountains. You will be on a wide double track trail that is dirt and gravel. The fat tire bikes are mountain bikes with 5 inch tires; making them very stable with a lot of cushion and fun to ride.

The valley floor is home to moose, bears, ptarmigan and the mountains are home to Dall sheep and wolves. Learn the natural and human history of the Chugach Mountains along the way. Five miles up valley you have left the city and most people behind. Rest next to a small mountain lake while listening to the ground squirrels and birds chips away before heading back.

Carl was a wonderful guide, bikes and other equipment was top notch. Learned a great deal about the park, trail was hilly, rocky, and windy. This made for a very exciting ride. Great job of managing stops/rest points to take in the beautiful scenery and to catch our breath. Our family loved this excursion!

This was our inaugural fat bike ride. We had a fun exhilarating beautiful ride in the Chugach mountains. There was cloud cover early and it cleared up for the ride back. We were surrounded by beautiful views. Carl provided excellent guidance and short stories about the plants, wildlife and riding. He takes great pics too. We highly recommend this trip, guide and area. Enjoy !!

Much Mahalo to our outstanding guide Elly from Alaska Trail Guides. 🤗🤗🤗 I shared this awesome adventure with Rick and Sarah from Wisconsin; both were seasoned bikers. Unfortunately, I haven’t been on a serious bike ride for 25+ years; not to mention mountain biking!!! 😬🙄😲 Elly was very patient and understanding of my skill level and made it an adventure to remember. 🤙👍👏 My only question was the tour description from Viator: Overview: Embark on a 12-mile bike ride through Chugach State Park during this half-day small-group tour from Anchorage. Take in the beautiful views of the Alaskan scenery and keep an eye out for native wildlife such as moose, bald eagles, and bears. Learn about the natural history of the Chugach Mountains from your guide and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch before descending the mountain to end your tour. Take a half-day bike tour from Anchorage to the Chugach Mountains Bike 12 miles through Chugach State Park and discover its history Keep an eye out for native wildlife such as moose, bald eagles, and bears Enjoy a personalized experience during this small-group excursion Was it due to time constraints or my skill level holding the group back that we didn’t enjoy a delicious picnic lunch? Ha Ha Otherwise; everything described on the tour was spot on. Much Mahalo, Ivan “I can’t walk straignt for a Week” Young 🤙🐱🐱🐾😎 Make Everyday a GREAT Day Malama Pono--Take Care of Yourself
