Whether you want a nice easy ride on an old roadbed or a grueling trail up technical switchbacks leading to a spectacular view, Alaska is the place to ride! From hour-long to multiple-day rides, there is something for everyone
Anchorage is home to some of the best singletrack in Alaska. With hundreds of miles of trails traversing various terrain, the options are endless. Become a Hilltop Flyer and take the Power Line Trail down from Glen Alps Parking Lot in Chugach State Park, or try some of Kinkaid Park's new world-class singletrack. Bikes may be rented at verious locations throughout town for those traveling.
When a new highway is built in Alaska it is a requirement that a bike trail be built alongside it. This has added up to hundreds upon hundreds of miles of roadside biking opportunity through scenic Alaska - it is completely feasible to bike from one end of the state to the other and many people do each summer.
Across Alaska, many State and National park lands offer trails accessible to mountain biking. There are many old logging roads within the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska that are no longer available to motor vehicle traffic. These old logging roads offer great mountain biking opportunities through Alaskan old growth and second growth rainforests!
Grab your water bottle, put on your helmet, Tread Lightly! and enjoy Alaska by bike.
