What To Expect

Chugach State Park

This tour is an easy/moderate half-day hike, and runs for 4-6 hours into the great wild beauty of Anchorage’s backyard backcountry. It is a gentler hike with great views while trekking along our majestic valley floors. This hike requires the physical stamina and strength to hike for a half day anywhere from 2 to 6 miles while carrying a 5-10 pound pack over a mixture of rough and smooth terrain. We have several trails in our local Chugach State Park which offer up amazing hikes to experience in both summer & winter landscapes. Some are ascents on Mountain ridges, while others are gentler walks in forested trails and alpine valleys. Along the way we will discuss local flora, fauna, geology, and history of the area. You can take a moment to enjoy the majestic beauty of our backcountry and fully immerse yourself in the moment. Bring a camera-we adhere to the "leave no trace" philosophy-take only pictures and memories, leave only footprints.
