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.

This was the first activity we did after arriving in Alaska. Even though it was cold and drizzling and we are not expert mountain bikers, it was awesome. Our guide Maggie was the best. She was patient and had fun facts about living in Alaska . We had so much fun!

Loved doing this. The weather wasn't great, it was quite foggy, so we couldnt see the scenery. But that was okay. We had a blast biking on the rocky roads with our fat tires. The company was great - good guide, offered all the equipment needed, even rain gear. The only negative was that we ended early.. It was supposed to go until 12:30pm, but we ended before noon.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're thrilled you had a blast riding on the fat bikes - they really are a lot of fun! Maggie is a wonderful guide, and the rain gear is perfect for those wet days. With transportation included, we're usually done biking around noon (2 hours of biking), and then it takes about 30 minutes to load the bikes and transport the group back to downtown Anchorage. If you choose to meet us at the trailhead, your tour technically ends early because you don't need to be transported to/from the trailhead. Have a great time in Alaska! Cheers, Frankie
