We Loved the hiking trail! It was my favorite activity in Anchorage! Madison was a great guide. Very accommodating, knowledgeable of plants and nature. My daughter loved it too. This got me interested to do More hiking in Alaska and have ti return soon. And to read up about plants and birds : of Alaska and California, already. ordered books. We hiked Aug 7 but couldn’t review because the link wasn’t working. Thanks Madison and Viator.
