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.

Went on this tour in mid July, and it was a perfect ride. The tour guide prepared us well, and had water, great gear, and a great ride. We went at a nice clip and was appropriate for the varying skill levels. Great way to see a nice portion of trail while visiting.

I had a blast on my fat tire mountain bike ride with Alaska Trail Guides! It was my first time on a fat tire bike and their description of "tank on a cloud" is definitely accurate. Chugach State Park is a beautiful, low-traffic area and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend Alaska Trail Guides for anyone looking to see AK by bike.

Elly and team were fantastic! Clear communication prior, very flexible in pick-up, gear felt very new and felt like our group was in great hands, fat tire bike ride was so fun and done at our pace with lots of info from the guides around every turn, saw several moose and other wildlife, and they even dropped us off at Humpy's after. Will look up this team again when we're in town for another adventure! Don't miss this tour!
