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.

Our family had such a good ride with Elly @ Alaska Trail Guides. The ride itself was beautiful, the Chugach State Park is gorgeous. The bikes are so fun to ride. We spotted a moose eating right beside the trail, it was very cool! Elly was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about the area and patient when we fell just a little behind. She was also prepared with water and snacks. Great ride for families and we highly recommend it!

My partner and I took the fat bike ride at Chugach State Park . I am an intermediate level mountain biker who hasn't been mountain biking for 4 years due to a terrible fall, my partner has really never mountain biked; neither of us had been on a fat tire bike. For those reasons, we chose a private trip. We did an easy pace on easy terrain and covered 8 1/2 miles. Elly was incredibly patient with us and made us both feel confident and accomplished. Her knowledge of the area is vast. She spotted a moose right away. The best thing I can say about Elly and this trip is that now I am ready to start mountain biking again and my partner is excited to begin a new activity together.

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.
